Brewing started back in November 2010, quickly followed by us collecting the 'overall winner' award with our 'Copper Plate' session bitter, at the Bury Beer Festival just one month later. As well as a friendly local we're also a popular stop off for beer lovers following the East Lancashire Railway 'Rail Ale Trail'. We host great live music nights each Wednesday and Thursday, featuring a variety of local artists. You're also welcome to have a tour of the brewery; please get in touch if you'd like to come along or if you'd like to organise a group visit.

Pouring now alongside our usual range is Brewers Gold from Pictish

‘A refreshing thirst quenching pale golden session beer. Malty undertones and a powerful spicy hop aroma combine to produce a dangerously moreish beer.’
