  Beer Street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Hogarth produced the twin engravings Beer Street and Gin Lane at the height of what became known as the London Gin Craze in 1751.
Beer Street depicts a hearty London scene - in stark contrast to the horrors of Gin Lane - in which contented workmen drink tankards of foaming ale, eat huge hams, and flirt with women.
The Beer Street signpainter raises questions about what Hogarth was really trying to say in these engravings, which are otherwise pieces of stark didacticism.

Beer was the reason the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock.
