## About

John Smith acquired the Backhouse & Hartley brewery at Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, in 1852 (his father had put him in the trade in 1847) and by 1967 the firm was the third-largest regional brewer. Courage took it over in 1970, Scottish & Newcastle bought Courage in 1995, and Heineken the brewery in 2008. John Smith's is the highest-selling bitter in Britain; John Smith's Cask is brewed under licence by Camerons in Hartlepool.
