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 pint in the Henry Tudor, Shrewsbury on 25th September 2025. All a bit watery, but true to style otherwise. Hazed dull old gold body, billowing white head. Banana like esters and flavours, hints of cloves, pity it's body depth and alcohol level didn't match real German Hefe Weizen.

Hazy gold with a tight frothy white head and a yeasty banana aroma, with a touch of citrus funk. Light bodied with a hint of graininess, banana notes alongside soft tart citrus and wheat, finishes dry and a touch bitter
