The brewery was put up for sale in 1749 following the bankruptcy of George Parker.

The Federation began brewing in Hanover Square, Newcastle in 1921 but moved to Dunston because there was no room for expansion at Newcastle. A new £20 million brewery opened in 1980. In 2005 when the Scottish and Newcastle Brewery closed, Newcastle Brown Ale started being produced at the Federation. However, in 2009 the brewing of Brown Ale moved to Tadcaster, North Yorkshire.

In 1818 Thomas Taylor was the owner of the pub and brewery.
