Wadworth Brewery

Wadworth is a brewery company founded in 1875 in Devizes, Wiltshire, England, best known for their 6X beer brand.[1]

History

Wadworth & Co. was founded in 1875 when Henry Wadworth purchased the Northgate Brewery in Devizes. It was not long before they exceeded their capacity at the Northgate Brewery and in 1885 they moved premises to a new facility close to their original site. Since then, the brewer has been a major influence[2] on the economy of Devizes and a major provider of ale in the south of England.[3]

6X

The "X" in 6X refers to a traditional grading system for strong beer; it was first brewed in 1923.[5] In 2007, 6X won the Daily Telegraph and Cask Marque Best Of British Beer Award for Wales and the West Country. 6X is available in draught cask, keg, can and bottle formats.

Operations

Wadworths still use traditional shire horses to deliver their casked ale to local pubs in Devizes. Their radius of the operation is roughly 5 miles (8 km); beyond this, motor vehicles are used. The ale can be delivered in metal or wooden barrels.[6]

The brewery owns four horses (Monty, Max and Archie and Sam)[7] which are stabled at the brewery. As well as delivering ale, the horses compete in shows and events throughout the country. They are often featured in the local press and have featured in television programmes such as Countryfile.[8]

Wadworth operate a Visitor Centre and gift shop at the brewery. Tours of the brewery can be taken and may include a tutored tasting of the Wadworth range and visits to the shire horses and sign-writing shop.[9]

List of lakes of the Philippines

Several lakes in the Philippines, like Lake Danao in Leyte (pictured), are volcanic in origin. The origin of many lakes in the Philippines is closely related to volcanic and tectonic activity. A number of smaller lakes occupy the craters of extinct volcanoes. Some lake basins are developed by subsidence due to tectonic or volcanic activity. Others owe their existence to obstruction of drainage courses by landslides, lava flows and by fragmental volcanic ejecta.[1][2] Among th...
