Description
Rowton Brewery was established in October 2008 by Jim Preston. Purpose built in a converted Victorian cattle shed on the family farm the micro-brewery has plenty of character.
Rowton Brewery has been supplying the good people of Shropshire with traditionally brewed real ales since 2008.
Consistency is maintained by getting the basics right every brew by using high quality Maris Otter malt, the finest hops sourced from round the world and water drawn from our own borehole.
The theme around the breweries logo and merchandise is based around the Rowton Meteorite that landed in the village of Rowton in 1876, which is believed to be the only Iron Meteorite that has been seen to hit the Earth in the United Kingdom. The Meteorite is currently in the Natural History Museum in London.

Golden amber with a frothy / creamy white head and a fruit malt aroma. Creamy and smooth with floral bitterness on top of a solid sweet malt backbone with hints of berry fruit pushing through, finishes dry and bitter

S.P.A. stands for Shropshire Pale Ale. Hand pulled half pint at the Pheasant Inn & Brewhouse (where it's brewed) on 7th May 2025. Light golden body, clean and clear, on top a white head. Nice, easy going Pale Ale, slightly nutty and woody.

Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Mahogany pour with small beige top. This one had a very nice complex malt character with notes of treacle, liquorice, dark malts, chocolate, some pepperiness. Smooth medium body with soft to fine carbonation. Good stuff.
