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.

Third by cask, second day of GBBF Winter 20, Astbury Bar. Shared with Finn. Bubbly head, dotted spots on the nose, clear late straw coloured body. Moderate smell of floral hops, dry. Ripe fruity flavours backed by peaches and by bread-like malts. Hints of oily bitterness to the ending. Satisfying. (Birmingham 05.02.2020).
