About
Very occasional brewery.
Brewing commenced here in 1789. 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. In 2009 it became Shires Brewery. Closed in 2016 with brewing reverting to the All Nations name. After rebuilding, the 9-barrel brewery reopened in May 2016.

Hand pulled half pint at the All Nations on 22nd November 2025. Pale golden colour, bright, clean and clear; on top a snow white head of tight foam. Decent blend of bittering hops and semi sweet malts; nothing exciting or different, just a pleasant beer all round really.

Clear gold with a frothy white head and a sweetish light biscuit malt aroma. Light and fresh, cereal malt sweetness balanced with hop bitterness, just a touch of zesty fruit and a dry bitter finish.

Hand pulled half pint in the Stag & Scotch, Newport, Shropshire on 16th June 2025. Pale golden body, lets call it Blonde; on top a full head of white foam. Pleasant blend of malts and hops, nothing bold or powerful, just a fruity semi sweet brew.
