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.

Crest Super (10%) from Eagle Brewery

6.3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
Can from The Beer Shop has no Name, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear straw colour with a frothy, long-lasting, white head. The aroma is corn, light sticky toffee and some alcohol. The flavour is moderate sweet with a rich smooth, sweet grainy, light burning, liqourice alcohol bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. It's easy to mark a beer like this down and some malt liqours absolutely deserve it, but this was not so bad. It won't win any awards but it's drinkable and has some flavour.

Bottle at home while watching the Singapore Grand Prix. It poured well and although there wasn't much aroma it looked good in the tankard. The taste was that of a good bitter. There was biscuit malt, bitter hops and a nice mouthfeel. It's a classy bitter and it was a pleasure to drink.
