Description
Brass beer tap used to tap Brakspear beer barrels.
Established as a limited company in 1896, W.H. Brakspear and Sons traces its origins back to 1779 when Robert Brakspear first started to brew ale in Henley. The Brakspear family and the company named after them brewed beer in its New Street premises from 1812 until 2003. The company continues to own and manage many public houses in the Henley area but Brakspear's beer is now brewed by another company in Witney.
