Litomysl Castle AB evaluation :- "Among the ancillary buildings, the most interesting is the Brewery, which lies to the south of the first courtyard. Originally constructed as a counterpart to the castle, with sgraffito decoration, it was substantially reconstructed after the 1728 fire and received what is its present appearance, which blends elements of High Baroque and Neo-Classicism, after the 1775 fire". "Bed?ich Smetana, one of the best Czech composers of all time, was born in the Litomy?l castle brewery in 1824" (His father had "managed several breweries before coming to Litomy?l in 1823 as brewer to Count Waldstein, whose Renaissance castle dominates the town" - Wiki).
Maritime Greenwich "There was a brewery on the site of the earlier Tudor Palace, from 1717 until around 1860. The present structure formed part of a brewery of which the function was to supply the retired and injured sailors, who were pensioners of the Royal Hospital, with their daily ration of beer. The current building was built in 1831, substantially altered in 1843. Once a large, three storey building, what remains today is a single storey block with a series of vaults below.
