Thwaites Brewery is a regional brewery established in 1807 by Daniel Thwaites at Blackburn, Lancashire, England. The company still operates from its original downtown site, although the original brewery was destroyed in 2011, and part of its beer business was sold to Marston in March 2015. Currently, Thwaites still produce beer but in much smaller quantities because it only sells to plantations, lodging, and hotels. In 1999, the Mitchell brewery in Lancaster was closed, and partially purchased by Thwaites. Lancaster Bomber has since been available from the Thwaites public home after it was acquired in a takeover. Lancaster Bomber is now brewed by Marston, like Wainwright, another best-selling Thwaite beer.

The company has more than 270 pubs, mainly in the North of England but reaches from the North Lakes area to Solihull & Leicestershire. It also has six four-star hotels & amp; Spa and eight Character Inns

The brewery is heavily invested in beer pasteurized kegs, especially those driven by nitro in the 1990s. However, it is now working to increase the market for beer kegs. Thwaites launched a new brewery in December 2011 called "Crafty Dan".

History

Establishment

Local brewers and pub retailers Daniel Thwaites have been based in Lancashire since 1807.

Born in 1777, Daniel Thwaite first started brewing at Blackburn in 1807 when he joined 'Eanam Brewery' in partnership with local businessmen, Edward Duckworth and William Clayton. At the age of 31, Daniel married the daughter of Edward Betty, who later inherited his father's share of the company after his death in 1822.

In 1824, the Brewery became the sole property of 'Thwaites' when William Clayton sold the rest of his cony to Daniel.

Daniel and Betty Thwaites then had twelve children, four sons and eight daughters. Daniel Thwaites Jnr was born in 1817, the sixth of twelve children. Daniel Thwaites Jnr and his brothers, John and Thomas, then inherited the brewery after the death of their father, Daniel Thwaites Snr, in 1843.

The decade of the 1850s was one of growth for brewing and increasing prosperity for Thwaites partners. Thomas left the partnership and in 1858, after the death of his previous mother and the retirement of his other brother, John, Daniel Thwaites Jnr became the sole owner of the brewery. One year later, he married Eliza Amelia Gregory and they had a son, Edward, who died in infancy and daughter, Elma Amy Thwaites.

The official announcement of the dissolution of a partnership published in the London Gazette on 25 February 1859 stated that it was a mutual agreement. Daniel, who runs the brewery with the help of manager Joseph Smith and property advisor Henry Gornall has now been a partner for fifteen years. During this period he expanded the company and showed himself as an ingenious, ambitious and experienced brewer.

Meanwhile, after the purchase of Brewery Snig Brook in 1863, the brewery continues to grow and grow in size. During this period, Eanam Brewery expanded production to provide 100,000 barrels per year in 1878. The business must also adapt to various laws, introduced by the Liberal Gladstone government. The Food and Wine Act of 1869 authorizes licenses back to the judges and is intended as a means of control over beer stores worse. This was followed by the intoxicating liquor licensing Act of 1872, which introduced higher licensing fees, licensing inspectors, reduced opening hours, restrictions on selling spirits for those 'seemingly under the age of 16' and increased penalties for licensing violations.

The issue of beverages is very important for Daniel, not only as a brewer but also as a Conservative politician. He then became a member of Parliament for Blackburn from 1875 to 1880 and became nationally famous. Locally, he is described as a good landlord who owns some of the best public houses in Blackburn.

After becoming a rich man, Daniel Thwaites Jnr died in 1888, leaving his only daughter Elma Thwaites and her husband Robert Yerburgh to inherit the brewery.

Expansion into the 20th century

In 1897, Thwaite had developed enough to become a limited company, but a real expansion took place after the First World War. In 1923, Thwaites bought James Pickup Wines & amp; Company Spirits and then Henry Shaw & amp; Co., which owns New Brewery in Salford. In 1925, Thwaites began bottling their beer and in 1927 they bought the Fountain Free Brewery.

In 1946 Elma Yerburgh died, leaving Albert Whittle trusted colleague to take care of the brewery while his grandson, John is at war. In 1946 and 1956 respectively, the brewery was purchased by Bury Brewing Company and Preston Brewery Company and in 1966 Eanam Brewery was renewed and renamed Daniel Thwaites 'The Star Brewery'.

During the 1960s, people's homes in the city were abundant throughout the city and Daniel Thwaite ales had become popular throughout East Lancashire. 1966 saw the opening of a new Brewer and Beer Factory worth Â£ 5.5m followed in 1972 by a new Â£ 3 million bottling plant, considered the 'last word in a complex bottling.' A large number of people and tour groups come to see a brave new world for brewing at the new Star Brewery.

The 70's and 80's saw Yates & amp; Jackson of Lancaster and Thwaites won the first awards of two Champion Beer of Britain awards, bringing national recognition to family beer makers.

Throughout this time, John Yerburgh, Elma Yerburgh's grandson, is the head of the Brewery and he saw his great grandfather's business grow and thrive to become a respected regional brewer.

In 2002, John's wife, Mrs. Ann Yerburgh, became head of the Brewery and her passion for award-winning beer at Blackburn remained as strong as for Thwaite's ancestors in 1807. John died in June 2014.

In 2017, Thwaites was given planning permission to build a new brewery, horse stables and headquarters in Mellor, about 5 miles from its current location in Blackburn.

Shire horses

The continuous sound heard in Blackburn throughout the 19th century was the jingling of horses along the cobbled streets. The majority of these are work horses. The stable young man will lead the Thwaite horses out of the stables on Syke Street, across the street (until the late 19th century when the stable is moved to the brewery) and into the brewery where they wait patiently for their carts and drinks to load with the delivery of that day. These 'gentle giants' have been a familiar sight at Blackburn for years. But in 1920, most manufacturers decided to put their sand horses into the grass and move on to motor transportation. In 1927, the last Thwaite horse was driven out of the brewery for the last time.

In the 1950s the shire horse was practically gone. But in 1957, an enterprising young manager called David Kay from the Thwaites soft drink department wanted to bring the Dray horses back home. Two years later, in 1959, he got his wish and was allowed to introduce two spilled horses to a local brewery route. He believes that the dried horses will not only attract good publicity to Thwaite but will benefit financially against the backdrop of rising fuel costs. On May Day in 1960, the first two shire horses were guided out of the new and intelligent Thwaite horse stables. The return of horse transport was a huge success and Blackburn people soon grew accustomed to sharing a magnificent brewing horse with the rest of the country.

In 2016, Thwaites acquired a third horse named Gunner to celebrate 13 Weapons, a beer produced by the company.

Recent History

2010 marked fifty years of reintroduction of horse-drawn delivery after they ended in the 1920s. Over the years, Shires' fame has spread throughout the country, embodying integral traditional values â€‹â€‹with Daniel Thwaite's legacy. To celebrate a birthday, a memorial statue featuring three multi-award Shire horses in an assigned unicorn configuration.

The cage of Daniel Thwaites has enjoyed great success over the past 50 years. In a nine-year period, Shires has won the world-famous National Championships seven times, which is the highest achievement and recognition for the Shire horses and his team.

Further success has been enjoyed at the Royal Show which Shires has won five times in pairs. They won pairs, singles and team events on the Great Yorkshire Show and have enjoyed further victories in every major county event across the UK. The Stables team includes Head Horse Keeper, Charles Beardmore who has been in position for an impressive 40 years. 2010 also marks the 25th anniversary of the return of the Shire Horse which was honored by Blackburn Mayor in 1985 for their commitment to the city of Blackburn as ambassador. This is the first time that honor has been given to the horse.

Thwaites started with ten public houses in 1807. Based in the Star Brewery in Blackburn, Thwaite now has about 270 pub estates, a small but growing group of training lodges known as Thwaites Inns of Character and six full-service four-star hotel and spa areas , which are traded under the Hotel Shire banners until 2016 when they are brought under the Thwaites brand.

In addition, Thwaites supplies a variety of drinks to many independently owned pubs, clubs and restaurants in Northern England and beyond and bottles of beer to most supermarkets.

After reaching a milestone in 2007 - celebrating 200 years of brewing excellence, Thwaites announced that they are looking forward to a future that will continue to build the ideals and beliefs that were born 200 years ago when Daniel Thwaites first started brewing north. However, there have been many turbulent changes in the following years (qv)

The family tradition continues to this day. Ann Yerburgh is Chairman, son-in-law Richard Bailey is Chief Executive Officer and Arabella Yerburgh is the Non-Exec Director.

In 2011 Thwaites announced plans to build a new brewery. The move, which is anticipated to last within three to four years, will improve operational efficiency of the brewery and signal Thew's ongoing commitment to making quality beer.

At the end of 2011, Thwaites installed a new 200k brewery in Star Brewery at Blackburn named 'Crafty Dan'. Featuring three new fermenters, Crafty Dan allows Thwaites to make up to three new beers a week as well as one beer to mark a special occasion. In 2016, as part of the drive to bring all parts of the business under one brand, its name was converted into Thwaites brewery.

In January 2012, Thwaites agreed to buy the free trade interests of Hydes Brewery.

In January 2014, the company made the wrong kind of national news headlines. The proposed closure of Thwaites from Star Brewery and 60 redundancy brewings led to temporary staff turning off H, I and E in a corporate brewing sign to spell "Twats". Thwa's inability to choose alternative sites for breweries and to conclude an agreement to sell his site to criticisms accepted by Sainsbury in many areas including the local press and brewing industry. The Tandleman blog suggests that aside from the beer produced at Crafty Dan's famous craft factory, Thwaites will contract its permanent production of beer to other plants.

This is proven continuously; core beers contracted out to Marston and the company last bought the top two (Wainwright and Lancaster Bomber) and most Thwaite beer business in March 2015 for Â£ 25.1 million. Marstons will continue to supply Thwaites pubs with beer under long-term contracts while Thwaite will contionue to produce (much reduced) volumes for its own pubs by maintaining its microbrewery facility.

In May 2018, a group of tourists broke into the Blackburn brewery and caused thousands of pounds of damage. The travelers were not arrested by the Lancashire police and remain free to roam
