Allied Breweries was the result of a 1961 merger between Ind Coope (of Burton),
Ansells (of Birmingham), and Tetley Walker (of Leeds).
In 1978, Allied Breweries merged with the food and catering group
J. Lyons and Co to form
Allied Lyons. The breweries business merged with Carlsberg in 1992 and became Carlsberg-Tetley, which is now part of
Carlsberg Group, with Carlsberg-Tetley now known as Carlsberg UK.
