Salopian Brewery We're super pleased to be able to offer Salopian brewery beers, A brewery that straddles the traditional and contemporary really well, winning awards and fans the UK over. Salopian Brewery was established at an Old Dairy on the outskirts of the medieval town of Shrewsbury in 1995, the plant having been moved from Snowdonia brewery in North Wales. It was then reckoned to have the second smallest brew length in the country for a brewery not attached to a Pub. Over the next couple of years the brewery became well known for producing unusual beers, mainly based on continental styles such as Altbier and Weiss; now they are celebrated for their excellent hoppy beers, Automaton quietly regarded as one of the best UK Brewed big full strength IPA's today and their incredible Black Ops Stout. Love pale and hoppy, don't miss the amazing Oracle. Special emphasis was placed on consistency and to this end several strains of yeast were trialed until the right one was found â€“ the same strain still used today. Of course consistency is important, but just as important is quality! It has always been their policy to source the best ingredients available â€“ saving a few pennies on malt and hops at the expense of flavour is not a saving. Indeed the brewery only uses expensive aroma hops to provide a more distinctive flavour. Over the years the testimony received from our loyal customers has proved this as well as their strong showing at all the major brewing competitions. The brewery has never stood still since 1999, sales have grown every year since and capacity has been increased twice in that period. "We pride ourselves on the uncomplicated, natural and traditional way our beers are produced, and like to think that our customer care compliments that ethos." Do not miss out on Automaton, Black Ops and Oracle! Don't let the traditional styling fool you into thinking otherwise... these are top class beers!
