Art Brewo

Following on from yesterday's Art Deco theme, I was in Burton-on-Trent the other day and walked past this:


It's the Molson Coors brewery and dominates the skyline in the town centre.

Burton-on-Trent at one time bewed over a quarter of all beer sold in the UK. Currently there are 7 breweries operating there.

At its peak in the late 19th century, Burton-on-Trent was home to over 30 breweries, making it the brewing capital of Britain. The town’s natural water composition, rich in minerals ideal for brewing, attracted many brewing operations and led to the development of the famous "Burtonisation" water treatment process, which is adding gypsum to it.

Not much Art Deco there. How do we know that those silos don’t contain part of our countries deterent?
