A beer label for a strong winter ale produced by Fremlin's, a brewery founded around 1790 and bought by Ralph Fremlin in 1861. Located in Maidstone's Earl Street, the Pale Ale Brewery was formerly operated by John Heathorn. Fremlin's became one of the largest brewing concerns in the south-east after expanding its estate by acquiring other breweries. In 1929 they acquired their rivals in Maidstone when buying the Lower Brewery of Isherwood, Foster & Stacey Ltd. During the next decade the company expanded beyond the county boundary. For example, in 1938 they bought out Harris Browne Limited, a small brewery located in Barnet. During the following year Fremlin's, took over the Adams' Brewery of Halstead in Essex. This firm operated a larger estate of 46 tied houses. Fremlin's themselves were swallowed up by the Whitbread empire in 1967, by which time the company controlled 714 public houses. Brewing at the Pale Ale Brewery ceased in 1972 and much of the buildings were demolished around 1976. Further demolition on the site was conducted in 1981 and one of Maidstone's industrial heritage sites was lost forever.
