The award-winning Salamander beers was founded in 1999. Dr Daniel Gent (a doctor of brewing and one of Salamander's founders) mission was to bring high quality independently brewed beer to the masses. To this day Salamander continues to surprise and delight its many customers.

And we haven’t lost our touch for beer either.

Brewing ceased in early 2019 and restarted in late Summer 2021.

Hand-pulled half-pint in The Station, Oakengates on 19th Nov 2014: this pub majors on Yorkshire beers here in Shropshire. Poured a clear, clean golden colour with a thin and fading white head. Strange eggy smell at first, then a fruitier ester took over. Citrus hints emerged too. The eggy aroma did the beer no favours and it almost ruined the tasting for me, luckily I soldered on and the beer improved a bit. Hop led brew with not much malt action to talk about.
