Anyone interested in beer will appreciate the fact that the traditional cask ales brewed at Highgate have hardly changed since James Fletcher first opened the brewery in 1898.

Highgate beers are as good today as they were when they quenched the prodigious thirsts of workers in the Black Country's famous foundries. To maintain this traditional taste and character is a source of pride for the Highgate Brewery Company.

The Highgate Brewery has always been run by people dedicated to brewing good quality cask beers. In the 1960's, when Bass first became involved at Highgate they provided the resources needed to keep the brewery and it's beers alive. One example was the introduction of quality control systems to ensure the consistency of Highgate beers.

Since then the brewery has continued to produce regional ales of distinctive character, and has gone on to win international awards and recognition for probably the best mild in the world.
