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.
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 1960’s 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.
