About
The Eagle Brewery was previously a Charles Wells brewery site and became part of Marston's (Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company) wider business in May 2017. The Eagle Brewery continued to brew many of the former Charles Wells brewery brands sold to Marston's including brands such as Bombardier, Courage, and McEwan's.

The site of the Eagle Brewery was sold by the Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company (CMBC) to S.A. Damm (Grupo Damm) in November 2022, and became Damm Eagle Brewery (this is listed separately). The Eagle brands remained with CMBC. Carlsberg purchased the remaining Marston share in 2024, and Carlsberg Britvic was formed in 2025. The Eagle beer brands thus become fully owned by Carlsberg Britvic.

Certain brands (Courage, McEwan’s and Young’s) are still produced by Carlsberg either at Northampton or Burton. These live brands have been moved to sit under Carlsberg's head office in Northampton.

This entry will remain for historic Eagle Bedford beers which, with very few exceptions, were discontinued prior to or shortly after the sale of Eagle Brewery to Damm and not moved to Northampton or Burton for ongoing production.

0.5 l bottle, 5.2% ABV, shared with my father. Amber color, quickly disappearing white head. The aroma is not so intense, some hops and malts. The taste however is way better, malty sweetness followed by bitter hops. Medium bitter finish. Soft carbonation, medium body. Nice drinking beer.

0.5 l can shared with my dad. Pours clear copper with thin head. Hops and grassy notes in aroma with a bittersweet taste. Leaves watery, slightly bitter mouthfeel. Light bodied, softly carbonated. Average.

Mörkt kopparfärgad klar vätska med fingertjockt beigefärgat skumlock. Aromer av fruktkaka, engelsk toffekola, karamell och blomdoft. Kladdig maltighet som balanseras av en blommig och örtig beska. Len munkänsla med ett rivigt avslut.

Bottle at home, thanks to my family. I’m expecting a Real Madrid wik over Getafe in the first match of the season. Even with CR leaving the team it’d be vital to kick off the season with a win.

Can from the LCBO labeled as Bombardier Eagle.
Clear brown pour, with a medium off white head. Aroma is bready, toffee, plums, light goldings, and some brown sugar. Mouth feel is light, yet full, with a soft carb. Finish is lightly bitter, bready, more sweet toffee, and slightly nutty notes.

Banana Bread Beer (Bottle) from Eagle Brewery

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Very light english style hops, very light malts, witha good dose of sweet candied banana. Im really able to equate this with banana bread. The flavor really brings out the banana. A very ripe, fruity sweet banana, exactly the flavor you get from smashed bananas for banana bread! Imagine that!
Pretty interesting beer, light body, medium sweet finishm very light bitterness. I could see it get a little cloying after one or two, but interesting to say the least.
