John Smith is a name that is about as common in England as Peter Müller or Lisa Schmidt in Germany. So it's not a unique selling point, but if someone has a good idea, then their name doesn't matter.
And John Smith had a good idea: he bought a brewery to brew his own beer.
Newcastle Brown Ale
Tadcaster Brewery's brewing history has been like most others in England. John Smith's was also founded in the 19th century and soon became very popular. However, what sets them apart from other breweries today is the Newcastle Brown Ale that is brewed here. The classic English ale is not only a box office hit in England: it is one of the most popular beers worldwide. The top-fermented beer is a cult classic that even has an old English saying. “To see a man about a dog” means nothing other than disappearing to the nearest pub to drink a beer. If the German man “goes out with the (imaginary) dog,” the Englishman goes to see a man about a dog. “The dog” has since become the affectionate nickname for the Newcastle Brown Ale, which is so good that we even sell it as a whole package .
Spectacularly unspectacular
When John Smith was born in 1824, no one suspected that he would one day achieve extraordinary things. This boy with the extremely ordinary name was unusual from the start. When other children his age started crawling, John started walking on his hands. At the age of seven he made elaborate origami animals for his friends and at the incredible age of 13 he attended university, where he impressed his fellow students with his outstanding achievements. He also flew the prototype of a steam-powered helicopter - sounds incredible? It is. All of these crazy facts about brewery founder John Smith are exactly what they seem: legends. The Tadcaster Brewery speaks with a twinkle in its eye about its founding father John Smith and comes to the conclusion that it doesn't matter whether the boy with the common name was special or not. At least he can set his sights on founding a brewery that has now been around for more than 150 years.
To the unusually ordinary John Smith!
