Hobsons Brewery

Founded in 1993 by the Davis family, Hobsons has grown to become a leading brewer in Shropshire and one of the most sustainable breweries in the UK. The success of our brewery and its many awards has been down to a strong culture of supporting our region, its people and its resources. Hobsons Brewery was started by founder Nick Davis and his Dad Jim. They decided they would start a brewery in the late eighties when Jim was running a pub in Somerset. Nick was a qualified licensed property surveyor working for several of the West Country Breweries and decided that there were better ways to enjoy life and beer than driving 1,000 miles a week travelling around the country!

Hobsons started during Easter 1993 as a family business, after four months searching for premises, plant machinery and time spent researching local tastes. Since then, Hobsons has grown to be a 45-barrel capacity plant with its own bottling line, producing 6 cask beers and 8 bottled beers as core products throughout the year, plus special beers in cask and bottle. We also have an onsite brewery taproom where you can pop in for a pint, pizza and enjoy some live music!
