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.

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

[Cask at The Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] A chestnut brown pour with a tight cream head; berry fruit aroma; malty body with some plums and damsons; then a hedgerow bitterness to finish. Very pleasant.

Cask at the moon under water Watford Jdw. A clear reddish copper coloured pour with a halo of beige head. Aroma is semi sweet, toasted malts, orange rind, hint of coco. Flavour is composed of semi nutty twiggy, toasted malts, orange rind, marmelade on toast, some grass in the finish. Palate is semi sweet, mellow condition. Boring, meh.
