I know Scottish and Newcastle are one of them, who are the others.

The only big British owned brewery is Scottish Courage - an amalgamation of Scottish & Newcastle and Courage (which itself swallowed other breweries shortly beforehand). They only have 4 breweries nowadays. Other giant breweries are the sinister Inbev, an enormous multinational who are interested in little other than churning out Stella. Then there is Carlsberg (who produce that and various other 'brands' - nasty word). Guinness nowadays only brew in Ireland . This leaves just one more - Coors (an American owned giant) They spew out rubbish like Carling, and precious little else. That's the first division - Pretty depressing really.
Second division consists of Greene King of Bury St Edmunds and Marston's (formerly Wolverhampton & Dudley) - who brew at several sites. All the rest are much smaller.
Note to 'reid h', Sam Smiths may be big in the US, but it's a tiddler in the UK!

who are the biggest brewers? I think this could be Guinness
as Newcastle and Scottish brewers are an amalgamation of small brewers spread around the area of north east
then you have courage or did have don't know if they are still on the go. then Bass and Carling and the list goes on . then there is the home brew fraternity which can hold out at approx 50%

My knowledge of the master houses is a bit fuzzy but let see....I believe Bass, Harp and Guinness come from the same brewery. Also you have the Samuel Smith line ( my favorite). There are many more but as far as sheer size, I believe those two would be in the top couple.
