Once upon a time, Britain had railways. Most towns and larger villages had a train station and visiting the seaside was a popular occupation.
Now the railways have largely been closed, but in many places the "permanent way" still exists as a footpath / cycle way.
Here are old and new pictures of Scotstown, Banff. The railway continued to the beach and now, a caravan park.

“The bathing machine was a device, popular in the 19th century, to allow people to wade in the ocean at beaches without violating Victorian notions of modesty. Bathing machines were roofed and walled wooden carts rolled into the sea. Some had solid wooden walls; others had canvas walls over a wooden frame.”

Drunken History...
10,000 year old beer...
Even so, beer brewing did not originate with the Romans but began thousands of years earlier. The Chinese brewed a type of beer but the product which became the most popular is credited to the Sumerians of Mesopotamia and most likely began over 10,000 years ago. The site known as Godin Tepe (in modern-day Iran) has provided evidence of beer brewing c. 3500 while sites excavated in Sumer suggest an even earlier date based on ceramics considered the remains of beer jugs and residue found in other ancient containers. Even so, the date of c. 4000 BCE is usually given for the creation of beer.
(and they had 30 different varieties)
