'Only the best is good enough.'
|
Our company bears the name of a remarkable
man. Born the son of a tanner, John Smith built a brewing business
based on his entrepreneurial skills and personal commitment
to quality. His Tadcaster brewery, acquired in 1847, responded
to the new market opportunities generated by rapid population
growth in northern towns during the Industrial Revolution.
The excellence of his ales paved the way for what has become Britain's most popular
ale brand. The success story continues: a recent major expansion program at
Tadcaster has doubled capacity to keep in pace with growing demand. |
An alliance of proud traditions
|
John Smith's Ltd.
represents a coming together of many proud brewing traditions. Matthew Brown began
his brewing career in Lancashire in 1830. Wm. Younger's traces
it's roots right back to 1749 and William McEwan founded his
brewery in 1856. The Younger's and McEwan's companies joined
forces in 1931 to form Scottish Brewers, arguably Scotland's
most famous beer company.
These traditions are now combined with the prestigious brands owned by Scottish
Courage. Times mat have changed, but the guiding principles of service and quality
adopted by John Smith over 150 years ago are still at the core of our business
today. |
