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.

Tap at the Jolly Crispin, Gornal. Poured a clear light amber with a thin white head. The aroma is weak malt. The flavour is medium bitter, malty, with a little citrus zest on the palate. A super ale.

Cask at the Walsall Beer Festival 2013. Poured a clear medium amber with a bubbly white head. The flavour is medium bitter, stale malty and a little warm medicinal. Ok to taste, but not an ale I’d drink all evening.
