It was formed in 1781 when chief clerk John Perkins and Robert Barclay, a member of the Barclay banking family, purchased Henry Thrale’s Anchor brewery from Henry’s widow, Hester. Famed lexicographer Dr Samuel Johnson, a friend of the Thrales, commented, “Sir, we are not here to sell a parcel of boilers and vats, but the potentiality of growing rich beyond the dreams of avarice.”The brewery fared well under its new owners. By 1809, with an annual output of more than 325,000 hl (260,000 barrels) it was not only the largest brewery in London, but the largest in the world. Barclay Perkins was one of the first breweries in London to brew lager. The initial experimental brews were conducted during World War I. In the 1920s a specialist lager brewhouse was constructed and a Danish brewer hired to run it."
