The Hop Shed Brewery near Suckley is being sold after a decade under the same ownership.

The Hop Shed Brewery and Tap Room near Suckley has been put up for sale as its owners look to new challenges after a decade in charge. The brewery was established in 2016 by Hani and Sarah Saleh, who relocated from South London in a change of career. Hani previously worked in financial services and Sarah was a primary school teacher.

The brewery has earned 60 awards over the past decade, including Great Taste Awards and SIBA Indie Beer Awards. It now employs five permanent staff and a team of casual bar staff for its onsite tap room. Turnover has increased by 25 per cent over the past two years, with growth across four revenue streams: online sales, trade sales, the tap room, and contract brewing.

Sarah Saleh, 52, said the brewery is seeking 'a buyer with a passion for continuing the high standards and upward trajectory of The Hop Shed'. The establishment will be sold as an operating business and will continue trading during the handover, with plans for new seasonal beers and events scheduled for 2027.
