In 1881, a brewery was set up by German immigrants in the centre of Wrexham. The original beer was exported internationally in the 19th century. The brand's exports decreased during World War II, leading to its purchase by Ind Coope, and later Carlsberg-Tetley. Carlsberg closed the original brewery in the early 2000s, which it later demolished, with only the brewery building remaining.
In 2011, the brand was revived in Bangor-on-Dee, using the same ingredients in an older recipe of the original lager.
