                                  Board change

The Board of Young & Co.'s Brewery, P.L.C. announces that James Young, aged 55,
currently Deputy Chairman and Director of Production and Distribution, will be
retiring from the Company on 31 March 2007. A new Deputy Chairman will be
appointed in due course.

Chris Sandland, Young's Chairman, said:

'James has worked at Young's for over 30 years, been on the Board since 1984 and
Deputy Chairman since 1989. He has played a key role in the many awards Young's
has received over the years for the quality and originality of its beers and,
more recently, has been involved in the smooth transfer of Young's brewing
activities from Wandsworth to our Wells & Young's joint venture with Charles
Wells in Bedford. The completion of this at the end of last year has led James
to decide that now is a good time for him to retire from the business. We thank
him for his enormous contribution to the company over the years and wish him
well for a long and happy retirement.'
