Closed Breweries
This is a list which contains all breweries with an entry in this site that are closed. This majority of these breweries have closed since the 1980s. We are continuously adding more historical entries as we go.
For those interested in the history of breweries in the UK, The Brewery History Society have done much more research than we have. Their web site, which doesn't include brewery histories, can be found here.
