Description
We are an Independent Family Brewer based in Dudley which has brewing on the same site since 1915.

The Brewery is still run by the fourth generation of The Holden Family and whilst they all enjoy a very much hands on approach to the business, they are still just as committed to their proud history and heritage and to the generations to come.
