History

The Worthington & Co. Brewery was founded c. 1761 by William Worthington. In 1927 the brewery merged with Bass, Ratcliff & Gretton Ltd., ending a long standing rivalry between two of the town's major brewers. Worthington continued to brew their own beer, overtaking Bass in sales by 1957/58.

In 1967 the brewery was closed and subsequently demolished but brewing of Worthington's bitter continued.

Today, Worthington's draught bitter is still brewed and since 2000 Worthington's White Shield India Pale Ale has been brewed in small quantities at Coors' White Shield microbrewery.
