Joule's Brewery
Regional Brewery
in Market Drayton,
Shropshire,
England 🏴
Associated with 27 Venues
Established in 2010
It is, of course, fitting that the site of the new Joule’s Brewery lies behind an original Joule’s Public House, the Red Lion, in the heart of the medieval town of Market Drayton. Built on traditional tower brewery lines the building is a landmark in the area and the sight of malt being hoisted up the front of the building often draws an audience. The tower design was favoured in the 19th century when electricity supplies were intermittent, and raw materials once raised to the top of the building could fall by gravity rather than relying on pumps.
The brewery, completed in 2010, is traditional in its design. It incorporates an infusion mash tun with Steele’s masher, copper with a “cat and mouse” contents gauge, a hopback to allow the use of whole hops and “ale” fermenters suited to top cropping yeast, so is perfectly equipped for the creation of characterful beers.
Joule’s is a small Brewery that mainly serves its own collection of 40 Brewery Taps as well as a small local group of loyal Freetrade customers and Partners. Our Taphouses are our pride and joy and we spend all our time thinking how we can make each the best it can be. The strength of each lies with the people who run it, our Tenants who run our Brewery Taps as their own business.

Hand pulled half pint at the New Inn, Newport Shropshire on 13th January 2026. Black bodied, tanned top. Decent malty Porter, not really that 'infused' with whisky but it's very drinkable and I liked it.

Clear and golden with a frothy / creamy white head and a soft lemon biscuits aroma. Soft and smooth, very mellow citrus and biscuit malt flavour, a touch of bitterness and a dry bittersweet finish.

Hazy gold with a small bubbly white head and a mellow citrus aroma. Moderately fizzy, fresh and zesty, fruity and bitter, soft biscuit malt lurking with a dry grapefruit bitter finish.
Unfiltered Stone Ale or Stone Ale with hazy clouds added afterwards?

Pale gold with a creamy white head and a soft fruit malt aroma. A touch creamy, a sharp little kick up front, floral hop bitterness on top of biscuit malt, finishes dry and bitter.

Has a pinkish tinge to its copperness, with a creamy white head and a subtle berry fruit aroma. Light bodied, very slightly tart fruit notes, some light malt and a dryish, tartish finish.

My first ever Weiss was experienced in Berlin in November 1999. In Whitchurch this is a very mildly hazed golden coloured weiss ale, with the style developing as you sip, and very stewed fruity to begin with. Banana does begin to make an impact eventually.

My recollections of the one time I have visited the Staffordshire town of Stone are quite hazy! A paler golden coloured keg pour, which is fruity, unsurprisingly exemplified by lower citrus fruit, and stone fruits in aroma and taste.

Keg pint in the Cock Hotel on 8th October 2025 while having a meal with friends. Hazy dull golden body, white crown. Citrus lead with grapefruit to the fore, some sweeter citrus fruits arrive, but the grapefruit aroma and flavours stay until the finish.
