Note:- This entry is to record historical beers brewed at the original Charles Wells brewery sites prior to the 2006 merger with Youngs.

Those beers that were continued to be brewed after 2006 will remain in the Eagle Brewery (Grupo Damm) entry.

Charles Wells acquired a brewery, built in Horne Lane, Bedford in 1816, in 1875. Moved to Havelock Street in 1976. The brewery at this time was the largest family-owned brewery in Britain. Announced in May 2006 that production would transfer to a new company, of which a 60% share will be owned, formed by a merger with Young & Co's Brewery PLC. The deal went ahead on 1st October 2006, since when Wells beers have been brewed for them by Wells & Young's on what was Wells plant. Wells became a pub-owning company only and did not brew.

The brewery was then taken over by Marston's Beer Company Limited in May 2017, with the original brewery becoming Eagle Brewery. The deal included brands such as Bombardier, Courage, and McEwan's, although Charles Wells beers moved to a new brewery, Brewpoint, opening in 2020.
