In 1879, William Henry Goodier established a brewery on the corner of Marion and Dislander Streets in Glanville. Known simply as the Glanville Brewery, it quickly became identifiable by its distinctive trademark, a sailing ship, which appeared prominently on all of its labels and advertising. The brewery earned a strong reputation during its early years, achieving notable success at the Adelaide International Exhibition of 1887, where it won the prize for Best Porter. This recognition helped cement the brewery’s place among South Australia’s respected smaller brewing operations. In 1898, William was joined in the business by his son, William Hammond Goodier, marking the beginning of a family partnership. By 1906, the Goodiers had entered into a new business arrangement with Mrs. Martha Reid, forming the Goodier & Reid Brewing Company Ltd. However, the new company struggled financially. On 20 May 1907, the business went into liquidation. During the insolvency proceedings, the owners were charged with destroying their financial records in March 1907, an act that raised significant suspicion and became a matter of public record. Following the collapse of the Glanville operation, William Hammond Goodier continued working in the brewing trade. He was listed as a brewer on Tussell Street in Alberton between 1912 and 1915, suggesting he remained active in small-scale beer production for several years after the closure of the family brewery.
