[edit] History
The brewery was established in 1868. In 1873 the current brewery premises, Vauxlaurens Brewery, were built in what is now St Julian's Avenue.
During the 1990s, they launched the popular advertising campaign featuring archetypal Guernsey couple Len and Enid, with the catch line "If it ain't Randalls, it's a scandal".
The brewery remained in the ownership of the Randall family until April 2006, when it was sold to The Guernsey Pub Company, a group of private investors.
[edit] Availability
The beers are sold mainly in the company's own public houses in Guernsey.
