Staffordshire brewery - the early years

Staffordshire Brewery has over 100 years of combined brewery experience and knowledge to offer you and it all started in 2002 in the heart of the Staffordshire Moorlands.

Myself and partner Sue began brewing hand-crafted beers in our garden shed, with just two fermenters and a four barrel plant, the ales were bottled in the kitchen!

from small beginnings

As our beer production grew, we moved to a 1000 sq ft unit in Cheddleton, enabling a 6 barrel plant to be set up. These beers were sold mostly at local farmers’ markets.

In 2010, Nigel Cope joined the brewery as a shareholder and director. Six new recipes were formulated and over 12 months, the plant expanded to 20 barrels.

A high speed bottling line was installed for the company’s own use, but which also offers contract bottling to other specialist breweries.

2017 and even bigger

2017 was a busy year for us as we installed a new 35 bbl brewery, a new bottle filler, which filled 3000 bottles an hour and lots of associated equipment.
This gave us an extremely efficient system of bottling beers, and allowed us to pass on some cost savings to our customers.

paper Mill distillery

Our newest venture is into the world of gin.

At Paper Mill Distillery we wanted to add to the gin category in a unique way, crafting beautiful gins which incorporate botanicals not seen on every bar.
Thanks to our team members and taking inspiration from their world adventures, we believe our core range has done just that.
