But the guide notes that the county has lost more than a quarter of its breweries since the last edition was published at the end of 2021. The Corvedale brewery, based at the Sun Inn at Corfton near Craven Arms, has also suspended brewing due to the recent sale of the pub, although it is expected to resume soon.The popular Three Tuns Inn in Bishop's Castle, one of the 'Famous Four' brewing pubs to feature in the first edition of The Good Beer Guide, makes a welcome return for 2023 after a period of absence. Now run as a separate entity, it continues to source its beer from the neighbouring brewery.
The Kings Yard in Shifnal is typical of the growing trend towards micropubs, small bars often created in former shop units. The guide notes that two of the handpulls are dedicated to Wye Valley beers, with at least one dark beer also available. The Anvil Inn and Plough Inn, also in Shifnal, have kept their listings from last year.
Ludlow Brewing Co's tap house in the old railway shed keeps its place, along with the Charlton Arms and Rose & Crown.
