Description
In 1865, William Moorhouse, a local Burnley lad, founded the brewery. He took great pride in his home town and his craft, originally producing mineral waters. In 1870, he built his own brewery, producing renowned beers, including his low alcohol Hop Bitters for the temperance bars across the North West.
Rejuvenation
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.

Bottle from my local off-licence ‘Wine Rack’. Pours a very light golden almost straw colour with a thinnish soapy looking white head. Aromas of citrus, floral and white bread. Taste is again more citrus, floral and bready notes. Thin to medium body, average carbonation and smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Taste buds not working properly this evening so cannot get the full flavour but it does appear to be a decent drink. Will have to try again one day.

Cask @ Hogarths, Rochdale. Golden with a creamy-smooth head. Hoppy but flavour struggles somewhat to break through. Watery-crisp but not thin it has a good mouthfeel with a hint of sweetness in its aftertaste.
