The Rise of the Young Brewing Dynasty Jeanette Krüger

A story that details the rise of the Young brewing dynasty and places it against the political and social background of Hertford and it's surrounding areas where the brewers were active during the 18th and 19th centuries. Of particular interest, is the surprisingly crucial role played by the women in the family (at a time when women were thought to be mainly inactive in business) in providing capital, premises and the support needed to further the dynasty's interests in a volatile and competitive market.
