Image Description:
A group of men and a young boy pose outside
brick and wooden buildings with a horse, cart and
beer barrels. The cart is labelled “Black Eagle
Brewery’.
A well-known fixture in the early days of
Invercargill, the Black Eagle Brewery was a local
success story, recognised across New Zealand and
Australia for its award-winning ales and stouts.
The brewery had its beginnings in the early 1860s
on Mary Street, Sylvan Bank, where J.T (John Tice)
Martin leased substantial buildings on allotments
17, 18 and 19 of section 2 block 1 of the
Invercargill Hundred.
