About Us
Our Story
Husband and wife team Ken and Fran Munro started their brewery adventure in 2004, having enjoyed more than 20 years in the pub trade. They bought a very small brewery business in Nottinghamshire and immediately looked to expand. With equipment purchased and shipped from Ireland, they set about looking for somewhere to house their new brewery.
Ken (pictured front centre cover with some of the team) explained. “. The move into brewing was a natural progression for us – and we fell in love with it as soon as we got started. Our pubs always featured heavily on Real Ale, and it has always been a real passion for us”.
We found the site at Cromwell and converted it into a brewery. It’s situated parallel with the A1 on the Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire borders, so an ideal location for distribution and for the tap room.
Since they started selling their ales in 2005, the 12 -barrel Milestone Brewery -named after the milestone on the road opposite the brewery. Has gone from strength to strength, having produced over one million pints of beer.
