Castle Brewery is one of the oldest commercial breweries in South Africa. As company-endorsed legend would have it, the company was founded by Charles Glass in Johannesburg in 1894.

It later merged with other breweries to form South African Breweries, which still later merged with Miller of the United States to form SABMiller.
