It merged with United Breweries of London in 1964, and with Bass Brewery in 1967 to become the largest UK brewing company, Bass Charrington. Among its many products were Toby Ale, Toby Lager and Toby Stout. Charrington Toby jugs were produced by many potteries as advertising pieces for Charrington Brewery.
