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 @ Tennants Arms, Skipton. Clear amber with a tiny beige head. Aroma of butter, malts and toffee. Taste of toffee, malts, some lemons, caramel, nuts and maybe some herbs. Dry finish. Low bitterness. Low carbonation. Alright. It doesn’t stick out at but serves its purpose bravely.

Cask @ Shoulder Of Mutton, Hebden Bridge. Clear slightly deeper golden with a head. Mildly malty session brew, but a good hoppiness too. Easy enough with a bit of grittiness about it.

Clitheroe Beer Festival 2024. Amber-brown in colour. A hoppy brew with a dark and brown malt base, it's fairly flavoursome with tropical fruit evident in both aroma and taste. Not a million miles away from a black IPA in style. A tad boozy in aroma, but not in taste, where it is a bit thinner in design.

Well kept cask ale at New Oxford. Half-pint shared with Finn. Remaining beige head leaving upper part lacing on the glass, misty warm golden body. Moderate smell of dried fruits and bread-like malts. Quite fine balanced taste of biscuit and dried fruits. Drying close with discreet bitterness. Pretty okay. (Salford, 22.03.2024
