Hard times hit in 1985 and Bill Parkinson, a local man passionate about beer, was sipping a pint of Pendle Witches Brew one day, when he heard of the plight of the brewery. He bought it, invested in a new brew plant and the rest is history. With many twists and turns along the way, we have embraced the traditions, values and entrepreneurial spirit of our founder ready for exciting times ahead.

Cask at The Northern Way, Preston. Pours clear amber with a thick cream-coloured head. Aromas of dark fruit and toffee, something mixed dried herb. Taste is more of the same. Light bitter finish. Not the best condition.

The second Saturday in a row I've ordered a rugby themed beer just as the last game of the Six Nations tournament has concluded for the day. A golden session rugby accompaniment, but it's a drab watery-hoppiness brew. Mild bushy-fruit available.

From a 2020 visit to the Lower Turks Head, Manchester. Copper-brown with a creamy head. It's a deeper hoppy ale - not quite a dark malty brew but is edging towards one.

I did the climb to the Trig Point depicted in this clip art last August. This feels quite summery too, an easy golden coloured hopped brew with gentle watery citrus, evident in both aroma and taste.

Cask at Moon under Water, Wigan. Pours a slightly hazy solid gold with a small foamy almost white head and excellent lacing. Is slow to settle but does so eventually. The aroma is mainly floral hops with hints of melon and passion fruit. In the mouth it is quite sweet but with a little underlying bitterness. Flavour has floral hops, tropical fruit, citrus and oranges, with a hint of spice coming later. Finish is slightly dry. This is reasonable.

Hand pulled half pint at the Wrekin Inn on 15th January 2026. Light golden body, white crown that lasted a while. Slight haze to this Gluten Free brew. Citrus bite, nose and taste, dry orange like finish. Too dry and citrus hoppy for my palate.

26/11/2025. Cask (Hand Pump) at The Dove Street Inn Winter Beer Festival, 2025. Clear pour. Sweet, malty, citrus, leafy, caramel. Quite sweet with mild bitterness. Light body, low carbonation. Okay.
Bought from local supermarket, drank at home. Last bottle of summery beer before the clocks went back, all stouts and porters for the next few months.

Very so so. Condition might be letting it down a bit. Some bready pale malt, vague citrus impressions, a little cereal, biscuit and hay. Maybe a nip of apple. Just about drinkable.
