Formerly Wales' biggest brewer, the brewery was founded by William Hancock (father of Frank, Froude and William Hancock), acquired by Bass in 1968, and sold to Brains in 1999, but initially Bass retained the rights to the brands.

The company took over the Crown Buckley brewery in Llanelli in 1997, and the Hancock's Brewery in 1999, moving to its current location, behind Cardiff Central railway station in 2000.
