Description
In August 1982, our late founder Tony Allen opened Oak Brewery on an industrial estate in Ellesmere Port. After much success, he moved nine years later to a location more central to his trading areas. Phoenix Brewery, Heywood!
Phoenix Brewery was registered in 1874, brewing directly from the Brewery tower and owning over 100 pubs in the local area. Phoenix’s history is still proudly displayed on our seven-story tower.
Building upon our strong foundations, we continue to brew Tony’s longstanding classic beers, whilst introducing innovative new brews. The team are looking forward to welcoming you to our Brewery site – soon to be open to the public for the first time in our history!
In 1996 it took the decision to trade as the name of the brewery Phoenix Brewery.

Hand-pulled cask pint in The Three Fishes, Shrewsbury on 26th March 2018. Nice looking brew, very dark with a smooth tanned blanket of foam on top. Malty with a slight honey sweetness throughout. Pleasant and easy to drink.

Cask at the Corn Exchange (JDW), Leicester. Yellow, almost straw, clear with a bit of white head. Not much of an aroma. Bit of grapefruit rind, lemon juice and grain. Light hoppy taste, lots of grapefruit with soap on the aftertaste. A decent but unexciting hoppy English golden.
