[QUOTE="backcreek, post: 16422, member: 277"] Governor Phillip King who was prompted by Lord Hobart to import brewing materials to try and stem the rum currency in the early colony. Lord Hobart wrote to Governor Philip King on 29 August 1802 stating: "The introduction of beer into general use among the inhabitants would certainly lessen the consumption of spirituous liquors. I have therefore in conformity with your suggestion taken measures for furnishing the colony with a supply of ten tons of Porter, six bags of hops, and two complete sets of brewing materials."
