1981 - 2005 New brewhouse, more pubs and brands
With demand for real ale outstripping supply, a new £5 milllion
brewhouse was completed in 1984 to increase brewing capacity and to
replace some equipment that had been in use for more than 100 years. In
1990, the company expanded into the hotel trade with their first
purpose built hotel at the Bridge in Greenford.
The pub business was boosted in 1991 when independent pub operator, H H Finch Limited was acquired. In 1998 a new bottling line was installed to satisfy increased demand from supermarkets. Also in 1998 Young's shire horses took on the duty of pulling the Lord Mayor's coach at the annual London event.The year 2000 saw Young's beers winning 6 medals and 2 championship trophies at the Brewing Industry International Awards - the most prizes ever won by any brewery. The year was rounded off with the purchase of 17 pubs in the West Country.
In 2005 Young's continue to win medals for their beers, including golds for Ram Rod and Oatmeal Stout in the Brewing Industry International Awards in Munich and top prize for autumn and winter beers in the Tesco Brewing Awards.
