The Queenslander of 3 June 1898 reported that the Booval Brewery Company had been in business for six weeks under the management of Mr W. Chardon. The brewery was well situated and possessed a well of excellent quality spring water which was thought an advantage in the brewing of good beer. Capable of turning out forty hogsheads per week the brewery was already planning an extension to the building as the demand was by far exceeding what the brewery was able to supply.
An article about the Booval Brewery Company written by “Old Sport” for the Queensland Times is available through the Federation through the pages of the Queensland Times. The following advertisement from the Queensland Times can also be viewed through this link.
