The Ironstone story
BUILT IN THE VALE.
MADE FOR GOOD COMPANY.
Ironstone Brew Co. is based on a farm in Eaton whose ground was heavily worked for ironstone. This is not a borrowed industrial story; the brewery stands on it.
A hard band of ironstone helped form the southern ridge of the Vale. Quarrying spread through Eaton and its neighbouring villages from the late nineteenth century, leaving lowered fields, stone-built villages and a history that still sits close to the surface.
