Dear Sir,—Being intimate with one of the prin cipal Supervisors of Excise here, I sent him a few dozen of Messrs Sp;ighb and Co.'s Dunedin Beer, with the object of getting the opinion of tho Excise Chemist on it, and I am glad to siy he has pro nounced it one of the Finest Beers ho ever analysed, it having the high specific gravity of 10.8udeg—the greatest amount of spirit and the least quantity of acid ha ever came across. When I tell you that every shipment of Beer goiiifj out of the Clyde must be sampled by the Excise Officers, and then analysed by their Chemists, I consider this opinion better thau anything else I could say on it. At present the Beer is too flat to send to any o:<e not an expert in the trade; but as soon as it comes into condition I will have it distributed. Yours very truly, (Signed) ROBB, MOORE, &.
