This is the story of how the Mackeson brothers of Deal bought a
brewery in the small town of Hythe and eventually transformed it
into the manufacturer of one of the biggest brewing success stories
of the twentieth century - Milk Stout. The drink was a favourite in
pubs and shops across the country and famously found its way into
the snug in Coronation Street’s ‘Rover’s Return’. But the
family’s journey was not a smooth one. Four generations from 1801
struggled with economic depression and recession, war, suicide,
bankruptcies, a law suit, wastrel and importunate relatives, and
premature deaths. There were triumphs, too: delivering the
Koh-I-Nor diamond to Queen Victoria, discovering a new dinosaur and
finally, in the person of Harry Ripley Mackeson, producing a Lord
of the Treasury and a baronet.
