History
In 1795 the Mauldon family of Sudbury first became involved in brewing, for in that year Anna Maria Mauldon began brewing at the Bull Hotel in Ballingdon on the outskirts of Sudbury.
As the business prospered, additional pubs and hotels were purchased and in the early 1800's the brewery moved to larger premises in Ballingdon Street.
Eventually the business consisted of a brewery with some 30 tied public houses, a wine and spirit business and a small farm. It was then sold to Messrs. Greene King in 1960. Memories of the old business still linger on and the etched glass windows with the Mauldon name may still be found in some pubs in and around Sudbury.
In 1981, Peter Mauldon the great grandson of Anna Maria decided to re-establish the family tradition and start a brewery in Sudbury once again. Peter had been too young to be involved in the original family business and had previously pursued a career with Messrs. Watney where he progressed to Head Brewer at the company's large Mortlake Brewery.
In 1982 premises on the Chilton Industrial Estate were acquired, the brewery was constructed and in the December of that year the first barrels of beer were being brewed again in Sudbury by a Mauldon.
Following the decision of Peter and Jane Mauldon to take early retirement, Steve and Alison Sims purchased the Sudbury based brewery on 1 March 2000. The brewery is well established, and using only traditional methods and quality materials supplies a range of premium real ales throughout the country.
In June 2004 this new site at 13 Churchfield Road in Sudbury was purchased. Over the next few months a larger brewing capacity brew kit was installed and in January 2005 the first brew was ready to be tasted.
Whilst the recipes remain the same, some artwork on the pump clips has been designed to include reference to Charles Dickens who has a history with Sudbury. It was in 1834 that Charles Dickens the young reporter for the Morning Chronicle, was sent to Sudbury to report on the corrupt dealings of some of the town councillors who would meet at the Rose and Crown Hotel. Sudbury was named Eatanswill in Dickens' Pickwick Papers. To this end we now brew a range of beers on a Dickensian theme.
