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.

Cask at The Greyhound, Bromley. Sweet fruity nose, quite floral. Citrusy taste, spot of peach coming through in the back end. Light malty hoppy finish. Improves with every sip.

Deadication beer to Hans Berger - not quite the beef one but his beef was to record the first electronic brain activity back in 1924, known as an EEG, he was born on this day in 1873. Not blurry at all, golden with a glow, hopped, session beer.

One of my favourite summer beers. Why would anyone drink lager when there are ales like this to be had. A couple of bottles at home.
