Description
Brewing originally started at this site in 1824 as Usher's Wiltshire Brewery. Merged with Watney Mann in May 1960 with about 900 pubs. Ownership transferred to Grand Metropolitan who accepted the offer of a management buy out in 1990, the brewery regaining independence and taking the Ushers of Trowbridge name and 434 pubs. In 1998 Ushers acquired and closed Burts of Sandown, Isle of Wight. The Ushers brewery was closed during the first months of 2000 as it was, in accountants speak, "not cost effective" despite running at full capacity. The company still owns the pub estate, though renamed Innspired Pubs plc. Beers brewed under the Ushers name are brewed at Refresh UK. The brew plant was exported to North Korea
