Brakspear was founded in 1779 in Bell Street, Henley. It moved to New Street, along the Thames during a local merger in 1812. Brakspear stopped brewing in 2002; the company retained their pub estate, while the brands were bought by Refresh UK who brewed them at the Wychwood plant in Witney using the Brakspear equipment including their unique double drop method. Refresh UK was taken over by Marston in April 2008.
