Ur William John Diaher, consulting brewer, Melbourne, writes to the Argus as follows“ The opportunity presented to the brewtt* of the Australian group by the forthcoming exhibition in Calcutta, to " extend their operations in the East, con strains me to submit so them my views in . relation'to the great advantage they have over Either ,lhe English or .Continental brewcnfs m that' market. First: That Australia and New Zealand are certain to beoomeHhe greatest producing countries in the world for. the two most essential - elements for the ipanufacture of ales and stout, vizi , barley and hops, there can be no donbt.s J-saw samples of Yictorian grown barley to-day that are not to be equalled in Europe, and perhaps only sur passed by Iffo J&Uandi r Next are hops. ' Anyone that has examined a carefully pic£;ed i ' > alid‘ dried nop * of Nelson, Tas manian, or Yictorian growth, and who is a judge, must admit, although they have not the pungent bitter, they have de cidedly a much - superior aroma, and possess much more lupuline. I am ef opinion it hat hops min be grown as cheaply as they can -in 'England or on the Conti nent, from the cheapness of our laud and being more free from blight. The next item kicgilnu Now in England you cannot Et anoak cask under 17s 6d. Here, from blaokwood, which to my mind is much'superior to oak, the cost would he 14s p here is a saving of 3s 6d. Next, the many ships that leave our shores in ballast’for: the East would be glad to take our ales ab a very nominal freight, whereas English, ales cost something like LI per hogshead. ; These are only a few of the leading - advantages we have over the English producer. In conclusion, ! would earnestly solicit the brewers ’of Australia, Tasmkhia, and New Zealand, to embrace the ~'{p&hd ~ opportunity' of the Calcutta Exhibition by ;browing a small maltvend ; bdps— : th« season is admirably adapted for it—to try the Eastern mar kets. at the>,wuno time forwarding samples for exMfilfc* 07 Cfi - : ■* : J - - '• :i J - ;;
