Who owns Damm?

Beer group · acquired British ale brands [1][2][3][4][5][6]

  1. 01
    Named beer business / brand owner

    Sociedad Anónima Damm [1]

    As reported · 11 Oct 2026

Damm's announcement dated 19 May 2026 states that the Hen family was acquired from Greene King; a later buyer statement confirms completion. That announcement date is not treated as an independently verified legal completion day. Brewing transitions to Damm's Eagle Brewery in Bedford. Acquiring a brewery site does not automatically transfer every historical brand formerly brewed there. [1][2][3][4][5][6]
