I've been reliably informed by a brewer at Adnams that this piece of kit is a Pre Run Tank or Underback. It is used to collect the wort that comes off the Lautertun. I took the shot on my recent tour of the brewery. The tour is very informative, you get to taste lots of lovely Adnams and you get a free bottle of beer.

This shot of a Wort Collection Monitor (I think that's what it's called) was taken during a tour of the Ringwood Brewery in Ringwood, Hampshire, England.

'Wadworth & Co. was founded in 1875 when Henry Wadworth purchased the Northgate Brewery in Devizes. It was not long before they exceeded their capacity at the Northgate Brewery and in 1885 they moved premises to a new facility close to their original site.' This sign was located on a building across the road from their iconic Northgate Brewery.

The hog from the Ringwood Brewery logo. The logo was on the side of a van in the brewery. Watch out for more shots from the brewery in the future.

One of my favorite breweries. If you are in the Rochester area there will be a Brooklyn tasting event at Lovin' Cup on Wednesday night. See you there!
