I purposely picked my hotel so I could visit this brewery, and I was not disappointed. The place is spacious and airy and the people there are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I sat at the bar and spent most of my time talking with Matt who was bartending and is also the assistant brewer.
Mercury is named after the Roman God. In fact, it logo used to be the side profile of his head, complete with the signature bowl hat with wings was used during the early years until around the early 1950s.
He was also revered as the Messenger of the Gods. His name derives from the Latin word 'merx' meaning merchandise, as Mercury was originally the Roman god of tradesmen and thieves. Mercury was the son of Jupiter and Maia, who was the daughter of the Titan god Atlas.
