Other Interesting Points - Phipps Northampton Brewery Co Ltd like so many local breweries is no longer operating after being swallowed up by the Big Brewers in the 1960's and 1970's. In its day Phipps Northampton Brewery Beer was supplied to numerous Pubs and Off Licenses in many Counties including Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire. The end of the line was when the brewery was knocked down to make way for the Carlsberg Brewery in Northampton in 1974.
