Everards Brewery

The Everards Brewery was founded in Leicestershire but shifted to Burton-upon-Trent in 1893 before moving back to Castle Acres, Narborough in the 1980's where it is still located.

The Everards brewing plant has had more location shifts and name changes in the 19th Century than any other company in British brewing.

By the time they moved back to Leicestershire, Everards had a series of well known ales and beers, including Beacon, Tiger, Original Premium, Pitch Black Stout, Equinox and Sunchaser Blonde.
