Established by Jonathan Knowles when he opened a "new and more extensive brewery" in March 1837. He had been at the Denholme Gate Inn c.1820. Sons Jonathan and George later joined the business and began buying tied houses. Became totally insolvent by 1884. Brothers J.and J.O.Wood, formerly of Grange Brewery, Allerton, took possession. The business was sold in 1896 to form part of Boardman's United Breweries Ltd. with 39 houses.
They transferred production from the Caledonia Brewery to Denholme Gate in 1903. Brewing at Denholme appears to have ceased before 1920. The property became known as Stone Dam Mills and was lastly occupied by a furniture company. In February 1985 fire destroyed the property.
