About
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 at Brews of the World, Burton on Trent. Pours a hazy pale lemon with minimal white head and good lacing. The aroma is malts and yeast with just a hint of floral hops. In the mouth the hops are more prominent and there is also some pepperiness. Plus some underlying biscuit malts and caramel. A beer which bears very little relation to its name ! Otherwise OK.

New style and a cheeky kebab after a fun, if frustrating night. I really can’t tell what distinguishes this from a standard strong ale 🤷♂️ Big thanks for this one Gus H.

Bottle from Morrisons Supermarket, Eccles. Clear amber-gold with a small head. Has a slight carbonation. Its strength is evident but its light tasting caramels are still its most dominant characteristic, and they help provide a somewhat smoothish brew.
