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.

Slight lull in proceedings as the day drinkers leave and the Friday night ones have yet to arrive at the Pendle Beer Festival 2025. Easy access getting this hopped light tropical fruit brew poured.

Good looking but blandish ale, although easy in the palate with a smoothness. A little weak tasting.
