United Kingdom Founded in 1858 at Aston Cross, Birmingham, by Joseph Ansell, a hop merchant and maltster; it became Ansells Brewery Ltd in June 1901 and grew by buying Rushtons (1923), Lucas of Leamington (1928) and Holt's Brewery (1934). In 1961 it merged with Tetley Walker and Ind Coope to form Allied Breweries, which closed the Aston brewery in 1981 after strike action, with 700 jobs lost; the site is now a car showroom, and former staff set up the Aston Manor Brewery. Ansells Mild and Best Bitter have since been brewed for Carlsberg by J. W. Lees. unverified info
