Rochdale, Oldham & Bury CAMRA's Bury pub of the year 2025 - 1st Place
Rochdale, Oldham & Bury CAMRA's Bury pub of the year 2026 - Runner up Housed in an old engineering works that was originally built in 1888, Irwell Works Brewery proudly draws on the history and heritage of this magnificent building and produces a range of eight beers, along with many limited edition brews. 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.
