Salopian Brewery was founded as Snowdonia Brewery in 1994 by Brewer Martin Barry at his Pub in North Wales. In 1995 he relocated to Shrewsbury and renamed it Salopian (meaning of Shrewsbury). At that time it was the smallest commercial brewery in the country (not attached to a Pub) with a 2 barrel brewlength.
Salopian beers have a distinct style, they are usually full bodied, aromatic and well balanced. The malt, water, yeast and hops used are always sourced from the same suppliers and the beers produced will naturally show similar characteristics.
