Courage Brewery
Courage was an English brewery, founded by John Courage in London, England, in 1787. History Origin and family ownership The Courage Brewery was started by John Courage (1757 – October 1793). He was a Scottish shipping agent believed to be of French Huguenot descent hailing from Aberdeen, although other sources suggest his family may have originated from Flanders, as there were no records of French Huguenot immigration to Aberdeen and there was a stronger tradition of brewing in that region. John Courage moved to London in or about 1780 to become an agent for the Glasgow shipping firm of Carron. His work was located at Glasgow Wharf (just downstream from the Tower of London). From his workplace, he could see the brewing operations in Southwark which encouraged him to diversify his interests into the brewing industry. On 20 December 1787, John Courage, together with a group of friends purchased the Anchor Brewhouse in Horsleydown, Bermondsey, from John and Hagger Ellis ...
