About
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.

Cask at Great Western, Wolverhampton. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with a sizeable off-white head. There’s a hoppy aroma of the traditional kind. In the mouth it is quite bitter with a creamy texture. Flavour has traditional hops, malts, oranges, biscuits and hints of mango. Bitterness lasts into the slightly dry finish. This is decent enough.

Cask@The Pineapple. Amber colour with a mediumsized foamy off-white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is caramel, some fruity and floral tones with mild wood. Flavour is bready, floral, some tropical fruits and mild herbal tones to it. Pleasantly balanced.
