Joule’s Brewery is pleased to confirm the purchase of the land directly adjacent to the brewery, formerly known as Phoenix Garage. The site, which had previously stood unused, will now be brought into active use as part of our wider brewery expansion plans.
The acquisition forms part of a continued focus on strengthening our brewing operations. The site will be used exclusively for brewery purposes and will not form part of any future pub or retail development. The space will be used for parking and brewery storage; it will allow us to make better use of existing Brewery land to add capacity and develop The Stag without impacting parking or the customer experience
Last year, Joule’s acquired The Stag, a key part of the brewery site, which has since been developed and is now in full use as our primary Brewery Tap. The Red Lion, also located within the brewery yard, is currently being redeveloped and is set to reopen in the coming months before the Stag is repositioned as a private events space.
Managing Director Vicky Colclough said: “This is a really positive step for the brewery. It gives us the breathing space we need to plan ahead and to continue investing in the way we brew, store, and operate. We’ve created sustained growth over the last 15 years, and this land protects us enabling growth for the years ahead.”
Development Director Anna Brakel added: “It’s exciting to bring this space back into purpose as part of the brewery’s future. With The Stag now open and the Red Lion due to return in the coming months, this addition gives us the operational flexibility we need to support everything happening on site. It’s part of our long-term investment in brewing.”
The addition of the Phoenix Garage site is a significant step in ensuring Joule’s Brewery has the capacity and flexibility to support its brewing team as demand continues to grow. This investment is entirely operational and focused on the long-term needs of the brewery, reinforcing its commitment to brewing here in Market Drayton.
