This location is also that of the King's Brasserie, open from 1670 to 1675. Boswell did a large amount of advertising in newspapers and magazines, radio and display. The brewery also paid strong attention to providing promotional products for its customers such as glasses, ashtrays, bottle opener, lighter and calendars such as this one. Boswell beer was so popular that it earned a place in everyday language with the phrase "être en Boswell" in the sense of upset.
