The West Midlands has a long-standing tradition of brewing and beer making.

Breweries have been a part of the region for centuries, providing the welcoming aroma of hops and yeast in the air across the region and many different types of beer loved by thousands.

In the wake of the news of the planned closure of Banks's Brewery in Wolverhampton, the Express & Star wants to support our local breweries and show that there are still many out there producing quality beers to be enjoyed in pubs across the region.

As part of our Backing Our Breweries campaign, we are going to look at what different breweries do, how they grew and built up their reputation, what their products are, how they continue to run in what are difficult financial times and what makes them special.

For Jaspal Purewal, it was an event which put in motion his journey to being the managing director of a popular and successful brewery in Birmingham, but which has products being ordered from across the country.

Indian Brewery is set in the centre of Birmingham, with a large and vibrant taproom alongside the brewery, and has been brewing and selling beer since 2014.
