Commenced brewing in mid 1995. Relaunched in early 1998 after financial problems led to a brief cessation in later 1997. Commenced brewing Blackwater beers in 2003. Initially this was on a contract basis for The Brewers Wholesale of Stourbridge, West Midlands (http://www.thebrewerswholesale.co.uk/) but the Blackwater beers now seem to be regarded as a Salopian brand.
