History
 

The award winning Windsor Castle Brewery is situated in the heart of England's famous and mighty industrial 'Black Country'. First opened in 1900 by Thomas Alexander Sadler (pictured below), the brewery supplied its twelve tied public houses run by the Sadler family, the most famous being the Windsor Castle Inn, Oldbury.

The popularity of the Sadler 'incomparable ale' was such that it led to the brewery supplying numerous public houses throughout the Black Country. The Brewery was always very much a local, family based affair as it is today, gaining a strong following and many loyal Sadler's drinkers throughout the Black Country.

Though brewing stopped in 1927, Thomas Alexander's son, John Caleb Nathaniel (known as Jack), was brought up in the Brew house, he passed on both his passion and knowledge of brewing to his son and grandson John and Chris.

The Brewery was historically re-opened by the Sadler Family during the winter of 2004, 77 years after Thomas Sadler brewed the last pint in 1927.

Now situated in Lye, near Stourbridge, the Brewery has once again become a thriving family run microbrewery, supplying public houses with Sadler's award winning ale throughout the Black Country and across the country. The Brewery now produces a selection of full time ales and a series of distinctive specials.

The Windsor Castle Inn, in its new location in Lye adjacent to the Brewery is now open - creating the ideal place to enjoy the perfect pint of Sadler's 'incomparable ale'.
