History

In 1960 a merger between Scottish Brewers Ltd, consisting of Youngers and McEwan breweries, and Newcastle Breweries formed Scottish and Newcastle. Continued expansion, by buying smaller breweries such as Theakstons moved S & N to be a major national player. In 1995 it purchased Courage from the Australian brewers Fosters and became Scottish Courage. This made S&N the UK's number one beer seller.

In 2000 the expansion of S&N outside of the UK was initiated after further acquisions in Western Europe.

By 2005 S&N describes it's business as 'a major European brewer with a balance of high growth emerging markets and high volume develped markets'[3]
