McEwan-Younger Ltd (export, naval and military trade : 1931- : Edinburgh, Scotland)

McEwan-Younger Ltd , Edinburgh, Scotland , was registered on 19 June 1931 to handle all military and naval contracts, and overseas business of William McEwan & Co Ltd , brewers, Edinburgh and William Younger & Co Ltd , brewers, Edinburgh. The two companies had earlier in the same year combined to form Scottish Brewers Ltd , Edinburgh.

William McEwan & Co Ltd had previously won a far greater share of the UK's export and military markets and this was recognised by the formation of this new company. Both breweries would provide their beer to the new sales company at cost, and 75 per cent of the profits made by McEwan-Younger Ltd would go to William McEwan & Co Ltd.
