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.

Cask @ Pheasant Inn, Wellington. Pours gold, small white head. Mild musty lemon providing much of the character, pale malt background, light bitter prickle. Fine.

Keg @ Pheasant Inn, Wellington. Hazed golden yellow, white head. Moderate hoppiness, with citrussy grapefruit coming to the fore alongside a firm bitterness.. quite gassy for keg but ok overall.

Keg @ Wrekin Inn. Hazed deep yellow appearance, large pure white head. Aroma of grapefruit citrus, continuing to taste with a mild hop profile, fair bitterness, well-carbonated. Not bad.

Keg, half-pint at the Wrekin Inn on 19th March 2023. Hazy orange body, white crown. The hops combine well to give a pleasant citrus bite to the brew, smooth body and 'more-ish'. Liked it.

Cask @ The Pheasant, Wellington. Misty pale gold that takes a short time to settle, good white head. Decent amount of flavour for 3%.. pillowy malt with fruity sulphur.. decent.

Cask @ The Pheasant, Wellington. Pours dark with a well-positioned white collar that's not going anywhere. Pleasant light smokiness to this, unsure if intentional, gentle liquorice shades, dried dark fruits.. not bad at all.
