Emily’s father & Grandfather Jack & John Sadler started the family printing & publishing business at number 7 Stourbridge road, now The Windsor Castle Inn & Brewery, when the printing industry was booming in the early 80’s.
Print Works to Brewery to Print Works Brewery!
In 2004 John Sadler packed in the printing & transformed the print works into a brewing haven and tap house following in the footsteps of his great, great, grandfather Thomas back in Oldbury in the late 18th Century.
Since then due to Sadler’s ales success the brewery out grew & moved on from its smaller beginnings at The Windsor Castle inn leaving room for a new craft brewery for our family to get creative with!
Inspired by the passion for brewing beer we have continued the family tradition by starting our new Printworks Brewery producing small batches of craft beer to serve in our pub The Windsor Castle Inn and supplying public houses throughout the Black Country.
Gareth enjoys brewing a selection of craft beers packed full of flavour from some of the best English hops & malt available with some extra special limited-edition experimental brews from time to time too.

RERATE : cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. No change in description- but have decided it’s actually rather nice ! Have updated accordingly m. ORIGINAL REVIEW : Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford (not listed in Ratebeer) Pours a hazy dark orange with a small white head. There is a vague aroma of bread and corn, but nothing much. In the mouth it is a mixture of caramel, oranges and barley sugar sweets. The finish is nutty if anything. OK but a bit strange. And definitely not a “golden ale” – I would call it a fruity bitter.
