Whitbread traces it origins back to the 18th century when in 1742 Samuel Whitbread first entered the brewing trade.By the 1780's he was brewing more beer than anyone had brewed before.His efforts laid the foundations of the modern business which two and a half centuries later is thriving ,continually adapting to the changing tastes and markets.
For the model collector the name of Whitbread is likely to remain synonymous with ale and beer for some time to come, so let's have a look at some of the vehicles which for serveral gernerations have distributed their bottles, barrels and kegs around the country. A word of warning though, for well over half a century Whitbread stuck to the same basic livery of dark brown for the bulk of their vehicles so you'd better like brown.
