Sadler's Ales
The local brewery in Lye has just expanded allowing them to produce 15million pints a year – and every time you order a pint of Salmon in the Stour, an English bitter made with Worcestershire & Herefordshire hops, Sadlers will donate 10p to the project.

He is even investigating using brewing by-products to create biofuel.
Sadler’s brewery has a fantastic history – I highly recommend booking on a tasting tour (and you can get the train from next door, Lye Station).
