Meet The Bombardier

I share my name with the legendary cask ale: Bombardier. It has a fine head, lovely body and it's damned tasty.

Just like me!

Wells & Young's

Huzzah!

In August 1875, my old mate Charles Wells returned to Bedford after serving twenty guelling years at sea in the Merchant Navy.

Now Charles' dad, George owned a furniture shop but it was no life for a man with a passion for adventure and fine cask ale. Furthermore, Charles was engaged to a fine filly called Josephine Grimbley but her father said that if he were to marry his daughter, there would be no more frolics on the high seas!

So Charlie did what any red-blooded Englishman would do - he married the lovely creature and just to make sure he never ran out of beer, he bought a brewery and thirty-two pubs. Hurrah!

Charlie didn't waste any time rolling up his sleeves and getting stuck in, displaying an insatiable appetite for beer and his lovely Mrs. W. Needless to say, it wasn't long before the house rejoiced with the regular patter of little feet.

Charles Wells was raising a family - a family with yeast in its bones and beer it its blood.
The Charles Wells brewing legacy was born...

...And Bombardier, the world's finest and only cask ale named after me, was soon to follow.
