Staffordshire Archives
Staffordshire Archives is the place to look for West Bromwich. It takes a bit clicking around but - if this is the family - you should be able to push back their association with beer to the beginning of the 19th century. First up: a Thomas Woodhall occupying some property near Dagger Hall, https://www.archives.staffordshire.go...woodhall%27%29. But things get better if you can find the Search Name Index section - a Thomas Woodhall (same man?), victualler, was a juror in about 1811. https://www.staffsnameindexes.org.uk/StartPage.aspx?. None of this has been digitised so, if anything was really relevant, you would have to ask them for a quote.

Perhaps it should be pointed out, if you did not realise it before, that at that time many pubs brewed their own beer, usually on the pub premises , or close by. On occasion they went on to brew for other pubs or beerhouses also and this is how many of the brewery names we remember originated. Often the brewing would be carried out by someone other than the publican himself, and for small pubs the brewer sometimes serviced several pubs, going from one to the other.. I think that retail brewer refers to the publican in a pub that brews its own beer, not necessarily by the publican himself.
That said Hitchmough's "Black Country pubs" gives some information. I have searched the West Bromwich list (it is on CD) and found out the following. Note I have omitted a number of later Woodhalls(1910 on) and only searched the West Bromwich pdf. I looked at the Wednesbury one fro ?Thomas (nothing), but there were a lot of other Woodhalls and the Samuel;s brewery.. Probably more in other areas

Licensing Registers can be very informative about pubs and brewers.
The West Bromwich registers for this period are at Sandwell Community History and Archives Service (not Staffordshire Archives)
