About Sarah Hughes Brewery

Take a step back in time to a traditional Victorian public house and brewery! The Beacon Hotel & Brewery was built about 1850. The first licence was granted in 1852. It has sat virtually unchanged for decades. It is an English Heritage listed building with a nationally-important historic pub interior, where time has stood still. The traditional Black Country Victorian tower brewery and pub was bought at auction in 1921 by Sarah Hughes. The brewery flourished, brewing home-brewed ales until 1957 when the brewery closed. After 30 years lapse, the grandson, John Hughes, lovingly restored the brewery in 1987, keeping the traditional art of brewing alive. Still going strong, we’ve now been brewing on the premises for over 150 years.
