History
Brewing from about 1740, this brewery was acquired by Thomas Beard in 1811. Brewing ceased in 1958, however the company retained its pubs. Initially beers were contract brewed by Harveys until 1986. By 1996 a Beard's branded beer was being brewed by Arundel and this is still the case. The remnants of Beard's were purchased by Greene King in July 1998 when brewing under this name ceased.

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.
