Allied Breweries

Allied Breweries was the result of a 1961 merger between Ind Coope (of Burton), Ansells (of Birmingham), and Tetley Walker (of Leeds).

[4] Ind Coope acquired Benskins Watford Brewery in 1957 and Taylor Walker and Friary Meux in 1959.

Ind Coope merged with Tetley Walker of Leeds and Ansells to form Allied Breweries in 1961.

In 1968, Allied made an agreed £108M bid for Showerings of Shepton Mallet, acquiring William Gaymer, Whiteway's, Britvic and John Harvey & Sons of Bristol.

Through a series of take-overs and name changes, it is now owned by Molson Coors and operates as Burton North Brewery.
