Description
In 2001 helped by his family, John Mills established the Tower Brewery, continuing in the long tradition of brewing in Burton on Trent.
IMG_0063-300x293Over a period of nine months and with a lot of hard work, John and his father Geoffrey converted the handsome water tower, in which the brewery is now based.
Steeped in brewing history and known as Walsitch Maltings, the tower was built in the 1870s by Thomas Salt & Co Ltd., and later in 1927 owned by Burton brewers Bass & Co.
With the conversion finished and the building returned to its former heritage, production began on 10th April 2001.

Cask handpull at Market Porter. Pale chestnut brown with thin white head. Yes quite nice malt some decent hop, something a bit earthy too. Fine but nothing amazing

Sampled cask conditioned at GBBF.
Deep orange/golden appearance. Fruity aroma, hint of rhubarb. Malty with a bitterness that grows towards the finish, but dominated by this interesting apple/rhubarb flavour.
