Following more than 5 years in research and planning we are now well in to the rebuild of Joule’s Brewery which will once again brew Joule’s Original Pale Ale; the original recipe, so popular for over 200 years until the then brewery closed in 1974. We have taken great care in selecting our site; in the heart of Market Drayton where we can source the purest mineral water, a purity which, as before, will be the essential foundation for Joule’s Pale Ales. We were granted planning consent for the brewery in 2009, wasted no time getting started and we are hoping to be brewing later this year.
We have in the meantime been equally busy developing our small estate of proper brewery pubs all of which you can see on our web site, some pages rather more developed than others, but it’s all work in progress. Each pub is intended to represent the Joule’s brand in its locality at the same time being an integral part of our small family of pubs. We hope you will visit them personally and with their real ale, real fires, cosy and characterful interiors and welcoming Land lords and ladies we hope you will enjoy your visit sufficiently to go back – if not we’ve probably got something wrong – please tell us.
For update on our progress keep an eye on our News and Events page. Our web site is obviously now up and running and we intend to refine and develop it over the coming months, in particular the sections where we have recently acquired pubs but not yet developed them. Should anyone have a particularly good photo of a pub or the customers within we would be very happy to receive it – we can be emailed from the Contacts Page.
Finally – keep an eye on this space for an opportunity to win your invitation to the grand opening later this year.
