“As me and my marrow was ganning to wark, We met with the devil, it was in the dark; I up with my pick, it being in the neit, I knock’d off his horns, likewise his club feet”
Industrial Porter
The Collier’s Rant is a Geordie folk song written in the 17th Century. Coalmining was a horrendously dangerous activity and miners worked tirelessly in dreadful conditions. The poem details a commonly held superstition that the devil was responsible for the various hazards and accidents that beset coalminers. It is arguable that the activities of these miners were the chief impetus for industrialisation. Neo-Prometheans, liberating the fire of industrial progress from beneath our feet. Without which, Britain would not have become the first industrial nation.
Featuring astounding bottle art by Ethan Robinson this Dry Porter, the first truly industrial beer, is tribute to these communities.
