Wem Brewing Company (originally known as Hanby Ales Ltd) is a microbrewery in Wem, Shropshire. Established in 1988, it produced a range of ales.

History

Hanby was founded in December 1988 by Peter Simmonds and Jack Hanby, who had previously worked for the Greenall Whitley brewery in Wem.[1][2]

Initially located in rented accommodations in Aston Park, the brewery was unable to brew their own product, so the company sold other brewer's products wholesale.[1]

The company began brewing their own ales in Easter 1989 once they had suitable premises.[1]

Hanby Ales had a capacity of approximately 100 barrels per week.[1]

The company's product range won a variety of awards from the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA)[3] and the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).[4]

The brewery was taken over in late 2008, following Hanby Ales going into receivership, to be renamed as Wem Brewing Company.[2][5]

They ceased trading in 2010.[6]

Product Range

Their range included:[7]

  • Traditional ales: Drawwell Bitter, All Seasons Ale, Cascade Bitter, Rainbow Chaser, Shropshire IPA, Golden Honey.
  • Specialty and premium beers: Shropshire Premium Bitter, Taverners Ale, Nutcracker Ale, Cherry Bomb.
