Kings Heath Brewery, High Street, Kings Heath, Birmingham, West Midlands

Established by J & J Bates in 1831, it became Isaac Bates's Brewery in 1870. In 1888 it was reported that J H Joyce, who was connected to the Kings Heath Brewery in Birmingham, had joined Frederick Everitt in partnership to trade under the name F Everitt & Co. This was dissolved in 1892, with Everitt continuing alone, trading as Isaac Bates.

In 1896, the brewery merged with the East End Brewery and White & Lake, West End Brewery to form Birmingham Breweries Ltd. The other two breweries were closed at the time, and production was transferred to Kings Heath.
