I hope that these pages will help identify those beermats that lurk in the unidentified section of your collection! Please send in details (pictures if possible) of your mystery items and I'll publish them here. If you can fill in any of "gaps" in these pages, please get in touch and then we can all know.

These questions came from Stephanie Vance of Sault St. Marie.

Who Brews...........

Carlton Draught ("for over one hundred years")
An easy one to start with! That's Carlton United Breweries from Australia.

Stud Lite ("when you want to stay in control")
This was a short-lived low calorie beer from Cameron's Brewery in the U.K.

Gerst Amber Lager
From the Evansville Brewery in the USA. This company from Indiana has ceased brewing.

Grünhalle Lager
This was originally produced by Bierebrauerei Lager GMBH of Eggolsheim, Bavaria; which was acquired by Edward Greenall, owner of Randall Vautier of Jersey and also a director of Greenall Whitley. Has been brewed in UK by Devenish, Greenall Whitley and Randall (Jersey) and marketed by other breweries.

Splügen
This is the name of a high mountain pass which has given its name to speciality lagers produced by the Italian Brewery Poretti in Varese. Their best known beers, so George Morrow of Belfast tells me, are Splugen Fumee, Splugen Rossa (7%) and a German-style, black beer Splugen Scura (6%). Fernando Cardoso mentions that Poretti also have a brewery in Olona while "Beers of the World" by Gilbert Delos mentions a brewery in Ceccano. Can anyone confirm the location of the breweries? The company was founded in 1877, but is now owned by Carlsberg.

Halleröder Premium Pils
This is from the Hasseröder Brauerei of Wernigerode in Germany. (Feranando Cardoso).

Mutzig Old Lager - Biere Speciale
These days, this is a French Heineken brand. Mutzig and three other companies from the province of Alsace- Espérance, Perle and Colmar, merged in 1969 to form a company called AlBra (Alsacienne de Brasseries). Three years later they were acquired by Heineken.

Brauerei Forst, (4 brands: Kronen, VIP Pils, Sixtus, Luxus Light)
This is from Merano in the north of Italy.

Brody
This is a UK cider produced by the Taunton Cider Company (George and Fernando).

Jake's Celebration Ale
