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.

Cask at Borough Arms, Crewe. Pours golden amber with a small off-white head, good lacing and medium carbonation. Floral hops and grains to the fore in the aroma, plus some hints of malts. In the mouth it starts off sweet and creamy but with a little underlying bitterness. This bitterness gradually increases and oranges and marmalade come through along with hints of ginger and spices. Finish is bitter and somewhat sticky. It’s reasonable.

Oldham Beer Festival 2023. Golden in colour. Hoppy with a creamy taste in this respect and a hint of sweetness, with its aroma and aftertaste fairly bitter in design.
