Joule's Brewery

About

Joule's Brewery is an independent Shropshire craft brewery that revived a once-famous Staffordshire brewing name in 2010, reopening in Market Drayton after the original brewery closed in 1974. Producing a range of traditional ales — including Pale Ale, Blonde, Slumbering Monk and seasonal specials — in a purpose-built Victorian-style brewhouse, Joule's supplies its own growing estate of pubs across Shropshire and Staffordshire.
