Who cares how Estonians pronounce a French (Belgian) name? It is not what the article should begin with. A clarifying example: just because many Estonians pronounce Finnair and Peugeot wrong doesn't mean we should be proud that we're doing so! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.191.147.226 (talkcontribs) 2011

Proposed merge with Kelluke

edit

The Kelluke article will likely be one paragraph long at best, seems like a good idea to just merge it here. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 20:04, 27 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

The claim is made - without a source being given - that A Le Coq was founded in 1807. Since Abert Le Coq was only eight years old then, this seems unlikely. In addition, different sections claim different places where it was founded. Zythophile (talk) 16:05, 13 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

The facts in general are all over the place. The article says it was founded in London in 1807 using a brewery founded 19 years later (?) then later on the company is founded in Prussia in 1807. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.238.11 (talk) 19:16, 18 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
The English Wikipedia article states that Albert von Le Coq was the founder of Company A.Le Coq, which was founded in 1807. However, Albert von Le Coq was not born until 1860. His father was André Auguste Le Coq (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/André_Auguste_Le_Coq). Founder of the Company is rather his father Jean Louis Albert Le Coq (1800-1875) Compare Richard Béringuier: Stammbäume der Mitglieder der französischen Colonie in Berlin. 1885, p. 31; zlb.de. The information in the English Wikipedia article on Albert von Le Coq is thus also incorrect, since he was never the owner of the brewery. In Martyn Cornell, ALBERT LE COQ AND THE RUSSIAN IMPERIAL STOUT TRADE , Brewery History (2017) 172, 2-8 , The Journal of the Brewery History Society , digital states: Albert retired from the business in 1861,18 and returned to Berlin, where he died in 1875, and the firm of A Le Coq & Co. was left in the hands of two more partners, John Turnbull and Richard Sillem. In 1875, Le Coq's grandson Albert was only 15 years old.
