History
Now the largest independent cask brewer in the UK, this brewery started with the merger of E Greene & Sons and F W King & Sons in 1887. The new merged brewery was based at the Greene site where brewing had been going on since 1806. Over the years a number of breweries have been taken over. Recently Morland and Ruddles beers have been acquired and are brewed here along side the Greene King range. In July 2005 they took over Ridleys and Belhaven later in the same year. Took over Hardy & Hanson's in September 2006.

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.
