North East Brewers Association, c1920-

Northumberland and Durham Brewers Association, 1887 - c1970

Accession 2641 (part)

This organisation was set up in March 1887 under the name Northumberland and Durham Brewers Association. It began as a professional association of wholesale brewers trading in the two counties. Gradually this organisation expanded to include a larger North Eastern Region within its sphere of influence and the name was changed in the early 1970s to reflect this development.

The officers of the Association eventually came to act as a joint secretariat for the other professional associations listed below. The Association ceased to have its own officers at the end of 1991, and is now administered by various brewery managers and directors who gather to compose the Board of the Association.
