hi there
i have happily read through all your commemts and stories about the old davenports brewery, their ads and all the products you remember. As i am sure some of you are aware davenports is now brewed by highgate brewery in walsall, and the products are becoming more available over the midlands. One exciting fact is that highgate have re-launched one of their pubs as a davenports house, selling beers brewed to the original recipies. On the bar at the moment you can regularly buy davenports bitter and davenports ipa. But even greater is the fact that is the first outlet to be selling davenports continental lager, also brewed to the original recipie. So where is this gem of a place i hear you ask!! The city tavern on bishopsgate street not a stones throw away from the original brewery in bath row is where you can find these historic delights and many others too. And how do i know all this, i am the landlord.
what i would love is for any former members of staff to get in touch, iam thinking of forming some form of club/society,memory sharing group based upon the davenports brand, is there any interest out there, please let me know.
if any of you want any more details on davenports, where you can get some, drink some, or take some home from (we sell alot of their products in bottles) then just ask and i will do my best to help.
i look forward to hearing more of your memories and stories, and dont forget former workers please get in touch
many thanks for reading
