 So what’s it all about then?
Read on!
During the 1920’s an organisation was set up to raise money for various charities. People formed local branches to generate sums of money for good causes (and it would seem have a good time!). This was to be the Ancient Order of Froth Blowers.
Unfortunately, the whole organisation disappeared in the early 1930’s and virtually no trace could be found anywhere. Although there does appear to be a small number of us who have found articles in occasional magazines. Sometimes membership booklets, cuff links and mascots surface.
This website has been set up as part of the Pub History Society website to hopefully encourage input from interested visitors to the site.
The Membership Booklet describes the AOFB as:-
`A sociable and law abiding fraternity of absorbitive Britons who sedately consume and quietly enjoy with commendable regularity and frequention the truly British malted beverage as did their forbears and as Brittons ever will, and be damned to all pussyfoot hornswogglers from overseas and including low brows, teetotalers and MP`s and not excluding nosey parkers, mock religious busy bodies and suburban fool hens all of which are structurally solid bone from the chin up`
Who can argue with that!
The Friends of the Frothblowers (F.O.F.B) has now been set up and Ian Brown of the Holly Lane Vat has set up his own site. Why not visit at
