| Trimmings were not brewers but they did manufacture soft drinks on their chemist premises. The firm of Trimmings still trades as a chemist in the High St in Alton today. |
| In 1903 Courage and Co. decided that a new brewery was required to brew Pale Ale. After much searching, Halls of Alton was purchased. The brewery was much enlarged and was then capable of producing 4000 barrels a week. The last brew at Alton was on May 1st 1969. The whole brewing concern was transferred to Reading. |
