Greene King has been brewing beer and operating pubs for over 200 years. Founded in 1799 by Benjamin Greene, it has grown steadily from its base in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk to become a leading pub retailer and ale brewer in the south of England. In August 2005 the board announced an agreed takeover of The Belhaven Group plc, one of Scotland's oldest and largest regional breweries which owns 271 pubs and brews Belhaven Best, the most popular draught ale in the Scottish on-trade. The offer became unconditional in September 2005. Belhaven now trades as a separate division of Greene King.
