Worthington's White Shield (5.6% ABV) was an India pale ale (IPA) available principally in bottle conditioned form.[2][3][4][5]

White Shield was first brewed by the Worthington Brewery in Burton upon Trent in 1829, primarily for export to the British Empire. Worthington merged with local rival Bass in 1927, which was itself taken over by Coors in 2002.

White Shield won the CAMRA Champion Bottled Beer of Britain Gold award three times, more than any other beer.[6]

MolsonCoors announced that production of the beer would end in August 2023.
