New Sarum Brewing Company Information

New Sarum Brewing Company was founded on the principle of crafting great small batch beer. Each recipe begins with understanding the history of an individual style of beer. We then find new ways of developing each beers own unique flavors. From a very bold full bodied robust porter to the sweet smooth creaminess of 142, we always try to push ourselves to create new while paying homage to the old. We also wanted to take that passion and tie it into the rich culture of Salisbury and Rowan County. To do this we chose our name and the names of our beers to reflect on both. Our brewery's name, New Sarum, is an echo to our city's history. By looking at our sister city in England we found that its original settlement was referred to as Old Sarum. Our logo was created by taking Old Sarum's crest and mixing it with the city of Salisbury's crest and putting an artistic new school spin on it. The naming of our beers was much simpler. We opened with three beers, Old Stone House IPA, 142 Blonde Ale with Grits and Roundhouse Robust Porter. These names all reflect places or events in Rowan County. For instance 142 is named after how many alcohol licenses were granted by the Rowan County courthouse between the years of 1753 and 1772. By tapping into Salisbury's landmarks and history we hope you the residents of Rowan County connect to our beers by more than just the taste.
