I was looking at some boxes down on one of the farms I work at and I spotted a logo reading "HelloFresh.co.uk," which made me think of the EC crew. 1689 In the Kingdom of England, Shortly after his Ascension to the Throne, King William III of England, Seeking to put Pressure on his Enemy across the Channel, Restricts the Imports of Brandy and Encouraging Gin Production and Consumption as the new Drink of Choice. 1690 In the Kingdom of England, the Monopoly of the London Guild of Distillers has been Broken, thereby Opening up the Market in Gin Distillation. The Production and Consumption of English Gin is so Popular among Politicians and even Queen Anne that it is Encouraged by the Government. This Encouragement is Shown in the Reduced Taxes on the Distillation of Spirits. Additionally, no Licences are needed to make Spirits, so Distillers of Spirits can have smaller, Simpler Workshops than Brewers, who are Required to also Serve Food, and Provide Shelter for Patrons. 1737 In the Kingdom of Great Britain, the Archbishop of Man & Sodor, Thomas Wilson, Complains that Drinking Gin has Produced “a Drunken, Ungovernable Set of People.” Prominent Anti ~ Gin Campaigners Include Henry Fielding, [whose 1751 “Enquiry into the Late Increase in Robbers” Blames Gin Consumption for both Increased Crime and Increased Ill Health among ] Josiah Tucker, Daniel Defoe, [who had Originally Campaigned for the of Distillation but later Complains that Drunken are Threatening to Produce a “fine Spindle Shanked Generation” of ] and ~ Briefly ~ William Hogarth. 1751 In the Kingdom of Great Britain, English Painter William Hogarth Publishes Two Prints, Beer Street and Gin Lane, in Support of what will become the Sale of Spirits Act 1750. Designed to be Viewed alongside each other, they Depict the Evils of Consuming Gin in Contrast to the Merits of Drinking Beer. On Gin Lane, the People are Dying, Skeletal Zombies; a Carpenter Pawns his Tools as Buildings Collapse in the Background while Violence and Crime are Rampant. Meanwhile, over on Beer Street, the only One going out of Business is the Pawnbroker: everyone is Rotund, Happy, Patriotic, Prosperous, and Glowing with Health and Virality. 1759 In the Kingdom of Great Britain, William Shakespeare’s Final place of Residence in New Place is Demolished by the then ~ Owner, the Reverend Francis Gastrell, who has become Fed up with Tourists coming to see it. Outraged, the Inhabitants of Stratford-upon-Avon Force Gastrell to leave Town. 1760 In the Kingdom of France, over the next Two Decades, France Expands up into the Central Plains Region, Seeking to Link Louisiana with Quebec in the North. However, the Plains Tribes ~ under Pressure from the French Advance ~ have, by 1760, United into a Confederation under the Leadership of the Powerful Sioux Tribe. The British and the Vinlanders both Recognise the Sioux and make it Known that they will not look Kindly on any further French Advances Northward, and the French are Faced with the Choice of either War or Negotiation. They Choose the Latter. 1800 In the Kingdom of Aragon, 14 ~ Year ~ old Simón Bolívar is sent away to be Educated, and upon Arriving in Barcelona, he Enters the Military Academy of the Milicas de Aragua. There, he is Introduced to María Teresa Rodríguez de Toro y Alayza, who is also from a Prominent Caracan Family, but, unlike Bolívar, had been Born in Aragon and has Lived in Aragon all her Life. 1799 22nd April In the Kingdom of Great Britain, Arthur Guinness Brews his last Ale, Declaring that, Henceforth, St. James's Gate will be a Porter Brewery. 1800 In the Kingdom of Great Britain, although he Limits his Brewery to Dark Beer, Arthur Guinness does Experiment with Different Forms of Porter. His Concept for a “West India Porter,” which Utilises a Greater Hops and Alcohol Content to Survive the long Journey to the Caribbean, will later become the Basis for Guinness Foreign Extra Stout. 1801 24th December In the Kingdom of Great Britain, Engineers Richard Trevithick and Andrew Vivian Demonstrate “Puffing Devil,” their Steam ~ Powered Locomotive, in Camborne, Cornwall. The Trial is Successful, however Trevithick Realises the Limitations of Steam Power in a Road ~ going Vehicle and Turns his Attention to Railways. 1803 22nd January In the Aragonese Empire, María Teresa Rodríguez del Toro Alayza Passes away at the Age of 21 shortly after Contracting Yellow Fever inside the Casa del Vínculo y del Retorno, Caracas, Captaincy-Generalship of Venezuela, after only Two Years of Marriage and Eight Months of Marriage. She will be Remembered by Future Historians as the only of Simón Bolívar, and her was a Turning Point in his that put him on the Path to becoming Liberator of Three South American Nations and the Forefather of the Latin American Integration Process. Having Lost his Parents as a , and having a Lonely , María Teresa Represented, for Bolívar, a last and Definitive Attempt to lay down Emotional Roots, an Attempt Marked by Tragedy. The Pain Caused by her Sudden and Unexpected will Lead Bolívar to make ~ and keep ~ a Vow never to Remarry and Avoid Emotional Attachments in the Future. 1810 12th October In the Kingdom of Bavaria, Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria Marries Princess Therese of Saxe ~ Hildburghausen. In Honour of the new Bride and Groom, the Citizens of Munich are Invited to Festivities held outside the City Gates on a Field Named Theresienwiese [“Therese’s Meadow”] after the Crown Princess. They hold a Parade and Days of Horse Racing, with Beer, of Course, in Abundance. It is so much Fun, in Fact, that they Decide to hold it again the next Year…and the Year after that…and the Year after that. 1814 17th October In the Kingdom of Great Britain, Rusting Iron Bands on a 22 ~ Foot ~ Tall Vat of Fermenting Porter Beer in Henry Meux & Co.’s Horse Shoe Brewery, London, give way. The Force of the Liquor’s Release Knocks the Stopcock off a Neighbouring Vat, which also begins Discharging its Contents. Several Hogsheads are Destroyed and their Contents Added to the Flood. Between 128,000 and 323,000 Gallons of Beer are Released. Force of the Liquid Destroys the Back Wall of the Brewery and a Wave of Porter Beer some 15 Feet high Sweeps into an Area of Slum Dwellings Known as the St. Giles Rockery, where it Destroys Two Houses, badly Damages Two others, and Drowns 8 People, 5 of them Mourners at a Wake being held by an Irish Family for a Two ~ Year ~ old Boy. All those inside the Brewery Survive, although Three Workmen have to be Rescued from the Rubble.
