European Breweries History :John Smith's Brewery
John Smith (died 1879) was the founder of a famous brewery at Tadcaster in North Yorkshire. The John Smith's brewery is still functioning, but is nowadays owned by Scottish & Newcastle. The Smith's Brewery is best known for John Smith's Yorkshire Bitter, which is the leading brand of bitter in the United Kingdom. The Brewery owes this success largely due to its recent marketing campaign starring popular comedian Peter Kay, John Smith's Bitter is so successful it is in the top 10 beers of Britain competing with usually far more popular lager. Another famous Tadcaster brewer, Samuel Smith, was the brother of John Smith, and he took one of John's breweries after his death, changing the name to his own. |
