Windsor was once an area rich in brewing culture until 1931 when the last brewery (Burges Brewery) closed its doors and bought to an end of 300 years of brewing. It wasn't until 2010 that beer was brought back to Windsor, with the birth of Windsor and Eton Brewery. Their first beer Guardsman Best Bitter was sold on St Georges Day in 2010 and since then the brewery has gone from strength to strength brewing old style traditional English ales.
