Beautiful Antique advertising mirror for IPA Beer of Younger’s Brewery (William Younger & Company) was a brewery in Edinburgh which grew from humble beginnings in 1749 to become one of the city’s main commercial enterprises, supplying domestic and foreign markets.[1][2] It should not be confused with another, less renowned Edinburgh brewery, that of Robert Younger, who also brewed in Holyrood at the St. Ann’s Brewery or that of George Younger, who brewed in Alloa.
In 1931 Younger’s merged with McEwan’s to form Scottish Brewers, which in turn merged with Newcastle Breweries in 1960 to form Scottish & Newcastle. By the late 1960s the combine employed the largest single workforce in the city.
The company’s UK operations were taken over by Heineken in 2008. In October 2011 the Bedford-based Wells & Young’s Brewery announced that it had purchased the Younger’s and McEwan’s brands from Heineken UK.
