Three Tuns Brewery
Brewing at this Bishop's Castle site began in the 16th century and was licensed in 1642; a small tower brewery from the late 19th century still stands. Three Tuns was one of only four pub breweries still running in the 1970s. Today the independent John Roberts Brewing Co Ltd runs the brewery on the Shropshire–Welsh border, and the XXX recipe comes from the Roberts family, who owned it for several generations.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
