PRINCE BREWS BEER

MAY FETCH £6O A TBOTTLE SURPRISE VISITS TO WORK- ./'•>. ;ERS . Beer was bbewed "in.a London brewery one day last month which will in. ail probability be treasured for 30 years or more, and may be worth as much as £"6o,a bottle. . . . It was brewed by the Prince.of . Wales when he paid an visit to Cha*rrihgtbri's Brewery in Mile End Road, London. ..He. consented to "mash" a special b'reW, and, watched by a number of employees, operated the controls which started the "mashing." It.'is, understood that this special brew; Uwilt* be put away to mature tor <v-uottg time. -It will then be ■bottled, and ■ sonie. will doubtless be sent to the Prince.. Other bottles will; be distributed privately. The beer may become as famous as "the ''King's Beer," which wars bl-ewed by "King Edward when he'.visited BuYton-on-Trent in 1902, and some' of which, when auctioned for charity, realised £GO a bottle. . >,V .
