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 Gordon Highlander, Inverurie. It pours clear blonde with a small, but sturdy white cap. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, floral, elderflower, lemon - lime citrus, biscuit, white bread and some cereal. The taste is smooth, sturdy malt base of bread, biscuit and a touch of cereal, bitter - sweet character, touch floral and weak citrus notes with a drying finish. Average body and fine carbonation. Drinks fine, probably a touch above the standard blonde.
