The Worthington Brewery (Worthington & Co.) was founded c. 1761 by William Worthington. In 1927 the brewery merged with Bass, Ratcliff & Gretton Ltd., ending a long standing rivalry between two of the town's major brewers. Worthington continued to brew their own beer, overtaking Bass in sales by 1957/58.
In 1967 the brewery was closed and subsequently demolished but brewing of Worthington's bitter continued.
