The Wood family, brothers Anthony and Edward and their father Basil, converted the stables next door to the village's Plough Inn and started brewing real ale to the very best traditional methods in 1980.
It has since become one of the most successful small independent breweries in Britain. Managing Director Edward Wood and staff have extended the brewery to twice its original size to cope with demand for Wood's own ales and for brews of Sam Powell beers - favorite recipes rescued from a mid-Wales brewery which ceased trading in 1991.
Wood's friendly, enthusiastic team produces and delivers a range of top quality cask-conditioned beers which are extremely popular in the West-Midlands and Wales, and which drinkers enjoy in pubs all over the country.
Watch out for them at beer festivals all over the country, and in particular at the Marches Food Festival, held each September in the historic Shropshire town of Ludlow, about 10 miles from the Brewery
