Three cheers for breweriana!
28 November 2022 Promotional items featuring brewery brands have a dedicated following of collectors.
"Harp stays sharp to the bottom of the glass" according to the adverts some decades ago. Here we have two Harp trays and a pump cover.
This memorabilia also has its own name - breweriana. A single-owner collection of brewery collectables, also including items produced by whisky makers and other drinks firms, features in a timed online auction at Ellis, Willis & Beckett ending on December 4.
Here are some lots featuring well-known brands. If their drinks are your favourites you might want to bid for their memorabilia. Serving your top tipple from a classic branded jug or into a special glass is always a nice touch.
