Veteran breweries celebrate milestone

Veteran breweries celebrate milestone

Born in the USA was released by Bruce Springsteen, the UK miners’ strike ends, EastEnders premieres on the BBC and Roger Moore’s last Bond film, A View to a Kill, hits cinemas. There was plenty happening in 1985, so you would have been forgiven for not necessarily noticing the foundation of a couple of small independent breweries at the time. In 2025, however, they are hard to miss as they are businesses which have now become true pillars of the industry. Yes, Wye Valley of Herefordshire and Titanic of Staffordshire are both celebrating their 40th anniversaries this month, with a brace of epic parties being held to mark the milestone birthdays.
