Archers The Brewers Ltd

History

First brewed in June 1979 in an industrial estate unit on London Street in Swindon. A 12 barrel brewplant was used but this was quickly doubled in size due to the success of the ales. Following continued expansion the brewery moved to their current site, a recreation of a Victorian tower brewery in the old locomotive weighing house of the old Swindon Locomotive Works. It was purchased by pub owning group Burns Leisure in 1999 and for a period in 2000 took on the brewing of the group owned Tom Hoskins beers. Following the collapse of the group the original owner took control once more and the brewery continues to grow.

Footnote - Since the 1974 local government reorganisation there has been much controversy over many county boundaries. The links we provide cover both possibilities; Ceremonial Counties which are the areas for which a Lord-Lieutenant has been appointed; and Historic Counties (and their allied county boroughs) which represent the position before the 1974 re-organisation.
