Still brewing independently.

Founded in 1849 when Thomas Hull and William Everard leased the brewery in Southgate Street, Leicester from Wilmot & Co. See: Everards Southgate Brewery.

In 1893, they acquired the Bridge Brewery, Burton-upon-Trent from Henry Boddington & Co. Ltd. This was originally built as a warehouse in 1783 and was converted into a brewery in 1865. The building still stands off the Trent Bridge.

As the Bridge Brewery proved to be too small for the firm's output, they leased the Trent Brewery in Anglesey Road from the Trent Brewery Co. Ltd. (in liquidation) in February 1898 and the Bridge Brewery was closed in June 1898.

Registered 1925 as W.Everard & Co. Ltd. Southgate Brewery, Leicester.

The Southgate Brewery brewery closed in 1932 and all brewing was concentrated at the Trent Brewery in Burton-upon-Trent. Public company registered as Everard's Brewery Ltd in October 1936.

Trent Brewery renamed the Tiger Brewery c.1970 and was closed 1983. In 1985 it was sold for conversion into a brewery museum and the Castle Acres brewery in Narbourough was established.

Brewing at Castle Acres will cease in 2017, and a new brewery named 'Everards Meadows' will be established on the other side of Soar Valley Way. The new brewery, which will also feature a shop, pub, restaurant and cycling centre, is under construction 2018-2019.
