Maxim Brewery
The main focus in our plan, Maxim Ale, was first brewed in 1901 to celebrate the return of the Northumberland Hussars’ Maxim gun detachment commanded by Major Ernest Vaux (part of the original brewing family) from the Boer War in South Africa. It was later reduced in strength because landlords complained of their customers falling asleep! However, in 1938, Vaux Breweries increased its strength and the legend that is now Double Maxim was born.
