Wells & Young's Brewery was formed in 2006 from a merger of the brewing operations of Charles Wells Ltd and Young's Brewery. Charles Wells initially had a 60% stake and Young's 40%. In 2011, Charles Wells took full control when it bought Young's 40% stake.Wells & Young's is now responsible for brewing, distributing and marketing Charles Wells' and Young & Co's brands at the Eagle Brewery in Bedford.
At the beginning of 2007, Wells and Young's made its first big investment and bought the Courage brands which included Courage Best and Courage Directors.
As well as selling its beers to Charles Wells and the Young's pubs, Wells and Young's supplies free trade and other pubs (including Enterprise Inns, Punch, Spirit, Admiral Taverns and Stonegate Pub Company) as well as supermarkets Sainsbury's, Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, Morrisons and ASDA. The company also distributes its products to the US, Canada, Russia, Japan, Europe and Australia.
Following a rebrand in 2015, the company traded as Charles Wells again, reuniting the different arms of the business under its founding name.
In 2017, Charles Wells sold the brewery and wine business to Marston's Brewery together with the Bombardier, McEwan's and Young's brands. The former Wells Brewery was renamed the Eagle Brewery by Marston's and in 2019 Young's rebranded its Bitter and Special as London Original and London Special respectively. |
