European Breweries History: Young’s Ram Brewery
Young’s Ram Brewery is a living and working
museum of English brewing through the ages and is the oldest site in
the country on which beer has been continuously produced.
Founded in 1675 by the Draper family, the Ram Brewery was bough
by Anthony Bainbridge and Charles Young in 1831. In 1884 the Young family
assumed full ownership. Ancient brewing vessels and the world’s oldest
pair of steam engines of their kind, which were in regular use until
the early 1980s, stand alongside modern equipment producing a range
of traditional draught ales, Continental-style lagers, stout and an
imaginative range of bottled beers.
