Both a signboard and this wall-mounted cut-out could be found on The Aquarius at Chelmsley Wood in 1973. Perhaps the inspiration is the water in the beer because Aquarius is the water carrier. Aquarius is also the 11th sign of the Zodiac, a group of constellations that the Sun travels through each year. The dates for Aquarius are January 21st to February 19th. With his story told in "Aquila", in Greek mythology Aquarius was Ganymede, "Cup Bearer to the Gods". However, many ancient cultures, including those of Babylonia and Egypt, believed that there was a god known as the "Water Bearer" as it was the sustainer of all life. Consequently, rainwater pouring from the heavens was most revered by ancient peoples. For most imbibers however, it is beer that is sacrosanct.
