There's some very complicated rules and regulations there and what complicates it more is

you can find the same " house " in the taverns / pubs list as well as down as a beerhouse.

One year it will be in the pubs list then the next year down as a beerhouse or vice versa.

Another question , are beer retailers the same as beerhouses?

Could a Beer Retailer be a shop that sells Beer

All you need to know Stuart is that the Rodley Inn was a pub, - your parents were tennants.

Could a Beer Retailer be a shop that sells Beer

I'm inclined to think it's the same thing as beerhouses.

If you look at the images on beerhouses that I've posted , the title of them is either beerhouses or beer retailers

either or. You never get two separate lists printed.

The names seem to be the same the following year too, even if the title has changed to beer retailers.

On the other hand, Whites may call them beerhouses and Kelly's or others could call them beer retailers.

[History dude]

I was doing some research on the Elm Tree which started out as a "beerhouse". In 1830 an act of Parliament was passed that allowed shareholders to sell beer on payment of two guineas. In 1834 it was raised to 3. The act was introduced to kill off the gin epidemic. The beer was brewed on the premises and was about ten times stronger than today. And up to 1872 they could add all sorts of things to the beer including zinc or lead. So if you have a time machine don't pop in the pub for a pint! It wasn't till 1908 that under 5's were stopped from drinking. But the under 16 rule didn't come in till 1923.

Many acts were introduced during the first world war as Lloyd George said that drink was doing more damge than all the German submarines put together!

This is what is says on Wiki - must be right

A beerhouse was a type of drinking establishment created in the United Kingdom by the 1830 Beerhouse Act, legally defined as a place

"where beer is sold to be consumed on the premises"

.^[1]Public houses at the time were issued with licences by local magistrates under the terms of the Retail Brewers Act 1828, and were subject to police inspections at any time of the day or night.^[2] The proprietors of beerhouses on the other hand simply had to buy a licence from the government costing two guineas per annum,^[3] equivalent to about £150 as of 2010.^[a]

Until the Wine and Beerhouse Act 1869 gave local magistrates the authority to renew beerhouse licences, the two classes of establishment were in direct competition.^[5]
