Trivia[]

  • Although not an exact match, there is a real Billson's Brewery in Beechworth, Australia.
  • The frequent appearances of the Bilson Brewing Company across these shows are not examples of a shared continuity. They are simply the result of the prop makers at Independent Studio Services frequently re-selling the same Bilson Brewing Company props for convenience.[1][2][3]
