Brewing commenced here in 1789.

A famous long-established brewpub, long associated with licensee Mrs Eliza Lewis; it brewed a Light Mild (1032).

This was one of the four surviving brewpubs in the UK in the 1970s.

The owners retired in 2001, and the microbrewery was closed for a period.

Brewing restarted on site in 2003 – by the brewer at Worfield Brewery, Bridgnorth but then closed again.

After rebuilding, the 9-barrel brewery reopened in May 2016, just brewing a Bitter, most of which is sold at the pub.

In 2009 became Shires Brewery.
