Joules Brewery, based at Great Hales Street in Market Drayton, wants to renovate the shuttered Stags Head pub next door and add an events and museum space to host private functions and brewery tours.
Under the plans approved this week, the existing 19th-century pub building will be refurbished and a two-storey rear extension will provide a function room on the ground floor with a reception area.
The building’s first floor could also provide a new long-term home for the town’s museum and resource centre.
The plans form part of a £1million expansion at the company’s Market Drayton brewery premises, launched in February this year, which the company says demonstrates their “total and unequivocal” commitment to brewing in the area.
