George Hoare

George Matthew Hoare (19 April 1779 – 28 July 1852, in Brighton) was an English brewer and amateur cricketer.

Following a string of acquisitions after World War I, it was taken over by Charrington Brewery in 1933, and closed down the year after.

[2][4] Charringtons adopted Hoare's toby jug trademark.

[6] Hoare as a cricketer was mainly associated with Surrey and he made five known appearances in high-level matches from 1807 to 1812.

With his wife, Hoare was commemorated in a painted glass window at St Lawrence Church, Morden.
