History
The UK operation of the Belgium brewing giant Interbrew was formed during the spring of 2000 when the brewing interests of Bass were purchased. This was quickly followed by the take over of Whitbreads brewing interests a couple of months later making it responsible for brewing over 30% of the beer consumed in this country. Following a Government investigation, the sale of a number of breweries was instructed and this is resulted in the sale of three breweries to Coors at the start of 2002. The following cask ale breweries are left in existence:
Boddingtons Brewery - Closed March 2005, cask brand now brewed by Hydes
The following brewpubs were sold on:
Fellows, Morton & Clayton Brewhouse
Frog & Parrot Brewhouse
Lass O'Gowrie BrewhouseA number of keg breweries are still operated.

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.
