Everards Brewery is a regional brewery based in Leicester, England. It was founded in 1849 by William Everard and has remained a family-owned business for over 170 years. The brewery is known for producing a range of traditional ales and beers.

History[edit | edit source]

Everards Brewery was established in 1849 by William Everard, who was born into a family with a strong brewing tradition. The original brewery was located in the center of Leicester, but as the business grew, it moved to larger premises in South Wigston in 1892. The brewery continued to expand throughout the 20th century, acquiring several pubs and other breweries.

In 2017, Everards announced plans to move to a new, state-of-the-art brewing facility at the Everards Meadows site near Fosse Park. The new brewery opened in 2021, featuring a modern brewing plant, a visitor center, and a beer hall.
