Imagine the PM brewing pints instead of policies.

Before it became the center of British politics, 10 Downing Street was home to something equally iconic: a brewery. In the 18th century, brewing was more than a pastime—it was a necessity. Water wasn’t always safe, but beer? Pure, refreshing, and a little boozy.

The thought of today’s politicians debating over ales instead of policies is both hilarious and strangely comforting. So, next time you’re enjoying a pint, raise a toast to Downing Street’s lesser-known, beer-filled past.
