Young & Co.'s Brewery P.L.C.
 PROFILE
Having brewed draught beer at its Ram Brewery since the late 16th century, regional brewer Young & Co.'s Brewery is anything but young. The company produces about 20 different Young's brand beers (including Bitter, Triple "A", Double Chocolate Stout, and Special), as well as wine and spirits. The company also has approximately 180 company-owned pubs and hotels throughout the UK. Brewing contracts with major brewers have allowed Young & Co. to drive down unit costs and obtain high-profile lager brands for its retail outlets. The Young family controls about 34% of the company's voting shares; investment firm Guinness Peat Group, which has an 8% stake, has been trying to loosen the family's control of the company.
