About This Pub
You know, when I think about Tower Brewery, it just warms me up – it's this independent family spot that's been brewing since 2001, right in the heart of Burton-on-Trent, the brewing capital itself. The beers are honestly some of the best I've come across; they've got that special 'moreishness' that keeps you coming back for another, with a lovely balance of hops and malts. It's clear from the buzz around it that folks love the atmosphere too – whether it's a DJ spinning tunes or just a casual get-together, it feels like a proper fun night out with friends. And the prices are fair, making it accessible without any fuss, plus it's welcoming for dogs and has clean, comfortable spaces inside and out. That said, it's not all perfect; the big downside is that it's only open on Sundays from 4 PM, which can be a real bummer if you're trying to fit it into a busy week. Still, if you can swing it, it's worth the effort for the fresh ales and that unique brewery charm – just plan ahead and you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic beer, great atmosphere, shame it's only open one day a week
Born to boogie with DJ Neil was fantastic what a brilliant DJ. Great beer too.
Just the best independent brewery there is ...and now with Royal recognition from the King himself 👑
Fantastic experience here in this amazing and quirky working brewery!
Whether there's a band on or not, this is a brilliant place to have fun with friends and other like-minded people 😊
John - the owner, serves fantastic fresh ale at the RIGHT price! ✅ My favourite is the IPA, it's awesome and is one of my most favourite ales at 5% 😋
I'm not sure about the opening hours but I think it's only open to the public on Fridays and private parties on Saturdays!?
Once again, cheers for another great evening! 👍 😃

A lovely little brewery. We tried to get there by bus but we didn't have the right tickets. Anyway its about 20 minutes walk from Burton town centre. Lovely craft beers at reasonable prices. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Opens on Friday nights.
Dogs welcome 🐕. The toilets were clean. We saw customers bring in takeaway food so I guess that's allowed.
Also looks like they have the occasional live music, because there's a stage. Will look out for that. Quite a quirky place which suits us. No background music, just the chatter of happy customers 😊. 🎸.
