Description
Epic ales to celebrate legendary Dwarfen deeds! The Fownes Brewing Company was started in 2012 to bring a fresh breed of outstanding ales and porters to the good folk of the Black Country. In the seven years since we rolled the first cask out of the brewery doors we've gone from strength to strength, picking up awards and recognition on a regional and national scale. In the autumn of 2019 we took the bold stride to relocate the brewery deeper into the heart of the Black Country, so that we could forge our next chapter and expand our ability to bring our unique, epic ales to a wider audience than ever before.

Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Mahogany, translucent with a small creamy beige head. Smells of slightly fruity dark bread. Sweet taste with the pull of astringent hops nearer the finish giving distraction rather than balance. This is a malty fucker, but the finish is quite bitter. Decent although a bit messy and reasonably one-dimensional.
