Greene King
Location: Bury St Edmonds, Suffolk, England
Website: Greene King
Greene King was established in 1799 in Bury St Edmunds,
Suffolk. The group does more than just brewing having a large estate of public
houses and being active in the catering and hotel businesses. Greene King has
been fairly aggressive in the business markets in the past few years, buying out
many well known English breweries including Morland,
Ruddles and Ridley's. The
company still produces some of these breweries' beers in its own brewery in
Suffolk.
