Sandstone Brewery
SANDSTONE BREWERY has helped to restore a traditional craft to the town of Wrexham. Commisioned in late 2008, the 4-barrel plant is situated in a former explosives manufacturing unit on Wrexham Industrial Estate, but so far the only explosions have been the occasional popping of a keystone.
