Rowton Brewery
Microbrewery
in Telford,
Shropshire,
England 🏴
Associated with 4 Venues
Established in 2008
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.

GBBF. Hazy gold beer, little white head. Bone dry palate. A little citrus and a whiff of sulphur. Over dry and sulphurous! Marvellous!

Cask, handpump at Shreswbury Folk Festival small bar whilst waiting for Vin Garbutt Friday 24th August 2012 It was very dark so the colour sort of passed me by however it certainly appeared paleish. Taste was light nuttiness with a buttery edge, hops were conspicuous only by their absence. Not very crisp, dry or refreshing, lacks a bitter edge. Ok A6 A3 T6 P2 Ov12 2.9

Four pints: cask, gravity pour at the local CAMRA AGM (Telford and East Shropshire ). Back room of The Fighting Cocks, Stotteston on Saturday 30th June 2012. Golden body, a light golden hue really: good lacing from a thin white head on each pour. Taste and aroma blended together nicely, floral hop feel to both with a dry bittering finish. This is an easy drinking session bitter and as it was free I really enjoyed my pints.

Hand pulled pints in the ’All Nations’ and the newly refurbished ’Elephant and Castle’, Dawley: one in Feb the second in March. Jim Preston is doing a grand job: his beers are both well constructed and interesting. This one pours a lovely chestnut reddy brown colour with an off-white head that always leaves good lacing. The brew is more malt than hop but although both the smell and flavours are malty the hops play their part by ensuring the beer has a crisp bitter finish and is dry rather than malt sweet in the mouth.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 5/09/2011. Deep gold with a slight white head. Aroma of sweetish apricot fruit and grassy hops. Flavour had cereal malts, more fruit and a dryish finish. Fine.

On gravity at the Great Welsh Beer & Cider Festival, 10/06/10. Golden with a slick of a white head. Fruity aroma with some malt sweetness. Very easy drinking with biscuit malts, more fruit and a soft finish. Enjoyable.
