The Abingdon company Morland and Co Limited (brewers, maltsters and spirit agents and manufacturers of aerated, mineral, and other waters, hotel keepers, licensed victuallers etc.,) no longer exist. However their memory lives on in Abingdon in the converted brewery buildings (now houses and flats), plaques, and engraved windows. The window above is to be found in the Brewery Tap public house, situated at the entrance of the former brewery. The Tap have a large range of beers and are currently Oxford CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) Town Pub of the Year 2017.

The Tap is also known for its spirit range with plenty of whiskys, rums, and gins. Spirits are the most powerful alcohol drinks, where distilling brings the alcohol content way above what is possible by fermentation of yeast.
