Description
Our 17th Century brewery is located right in the heart of beautiful Shropshire. Nestled in the small market town of Bishop's Castle, we’re proud to brew our legendary Three Tuns ales from a charming Victorian brewery tower, just a stone’s throw away from English/Welsh border and unspoilt countryside.

It’s 1642 and a half-timbered building is built in Salop Street Bishop’s Castle to brew real ale for the coaching inn next door, the Three Tuns Inn and our real ales come to life for the first time.

The current classic tower brewery with a 10BBL plant was built in 1888. The beers were sold under the name Three Tuns. Brewing ceased in September 2001 due to problems with beer quality due to some equipment needing replacing with brewing being carried out by Hobson's.

in January 2003, our brewery is bought by John Roberts’ Brewing Co.Ltd. - the name of which celebrates our historic association, over about a century, with the Roberts family. Our brewery is fully refurbished, ensuring its brewing future for many years to come.

6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
13th July 2019, cask half-pint on the 23rd Annual Bishop's Castle Real Ale and Cider Trail, at the brewery. Pretty sure this is a one off, a regular beer tweaked for the festival (or just renamed for 'tickers').

Clive of IPA (300 Year Celebration) from Three Tuns Brewery

5.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
13th July 2019, cask half-pint on the 23rd Annual Bishop's Castle Real Ale and Cider Trail. Mini haze to the golden/amber body, white film on top. Pretty boring and uninteresting to be honest, some light hoppiness on a malty base but lacked any punch or oomph.
