castlemaine

Castlemaine Perkins is a brewery at 185 Milton Road, Milton, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is a wholly-owned entity of the Japanese-controlled Lion company. Operations began in 1878 and continue today. Castlemaine Perkins is the home of the XXXX beer brand. In 1877, brothers Nicholas Fitzgerald and Edward Fitzgerald partnered with a Brisbane commercial firm to buy the site of a failing distillery and establish a brewery, named for the Fitzgeralds' existing Castlemaine Brewery.[1] They began to brew beer there in the following year and the brewery continues production to this day. The first beverage was called XXX Sparkling Ale.[2] In 1866, Patrick Perkins started the Perkins Brewery in Toowoomba. In 1872, he later extended his operations to Brisbane with the purchase of the City Brewery in 1872.[3] The company restricted its operations entirely to brewing by 1916.[4] XXXX was introduced with a new advertising campaign in 1924 after the brewery employed German brewer, Alois William Leitner.[2] The advertising included a depiction of a little man wearing a suit with a smile, a wink, and a boater hat. The so-called 'Forex Man' soon became one of the most recognized symbols in Queensland.[2] In 1928 (long after the death of Patrick Perkins in 1901), the Perkins brewing company was bought by the Castlemaine Brewery with the new company being known as Castlemaine Perkins Limited.[3] In March 1980, Castlemaine Perkins merged with Tooheys to form Castlemaine Tooheys.[5] Bond Corporation purchased Castlemaine Tooheys in 1985.[6] Castlemaine Tooheys was acquired in 1992 by Lion Nathan.

" ... The River Maine originates from a spring rising in a conical, oval-shaped depression at Tobermaing in County Kerry, situated approximately a quarter mile east of Tobermaing House at an elevation of about 100 feet (30 m) above sea level.[7] This source lies in the southern slopes of the Stack's Mountains, where the upper reaches are also known as the Shanowen River, a primary headwater of the Maine system.[6] From Tobermaing, the river flows westward, passing near and through the town of Castleisland, where it is joined by the Little Maine tributary.[1][6] ... ...

From logainm, Tobermaing / Tobar Mainge is in the barony of Trughanacmy / Triúcha an Aicme. The civil parish is Castleisland / Oileán Ciarraí.

Loads of literary and historical references for the name Tobermaing, and its evolution. Gotta love logainm!

Castleisland
An old record states "Sometimes a stream will come up to the surface, and having flowed upon it for some time, will disappear again to some cavity and resume its subterranean progress". Of this there is an instance at the head of the River Maine which flows into Castlemaine Harbour. The stream rises at Tobermaing, which is situated in a hollow measuring 100 by 60 yards, and 40 to 50 feet deep. Having flowed on the surface of the ground for 35 yards, the stream sinks and rises again a quarter of a mile off, by the roadside on the south of Tobermaing House.
