The Three Tuns Brewery in Bishop's Castle, Shropshire, England was established in 1642 on its current site, making it the oldest licensed brewery site in Britain.[1] While some of the current building dates to the seventeenth century, the main building is a Victorian tower brewery erected about 1888,[2] making it one of only four brewers in the United Kingdom to use such a method to brew beer.
The brewery is Grade Two listed, described as "a rare survival of a small, working rural brewery".[2]
In January 2003, the brewery was sold to the John Roberts' Brewing Co. Ltd.[2] Owners John Russell and Bill Bainbridge refitted the brewery with modern brewing equipment whilst 150 tonnes of steel was used to uphold the structure of the tower, required because of a 20 fold increase in loadings following the brewery development project.
There were new plans in 2012 to further develop the brewery to a capacity of 160 brewers barrels per week, which would involve excavating into the brewery foundations as The Three Tuns will never brew outside of its 17th century and Victorian buildings.[3] During 2013 the brewery was expanded to make room to facilitate more fermenting vessels, having operated at its brewing capacity of 90 brewers barrels for several years.[3]
In 2017, Lonely Planet described The Three Tuns Brewery as one of the best beer locations to visit across the world.[4]
As of July 2018[update], the brewery has six regular ales and four seasonal beers.[5] Emphasis is placed upon pale ale, with Maris Otter Malts being used frequently to achieve the pale-straw, light-tan and golden colours brewed.[citation needed]
