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.

Sampled cask conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, Sweden.
Amber coloured. Grapefruity hop aroma. Sweet and rather malty. Domintaed by it's citrusy fruitiness. The mouthfeel is sharpish and thus the bitterness becomes unbalanced and harsh.

Navvy from Phoenix (Oak Brewing Co.)

6.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Sampled cask conditioned. Pale amber. Aroma is dead similar to Swedish snus, ie tobacco and raisin aroma. Rather light bodied, a bit sweet. Fruity. Just a hint of bitterness. Very flavourful for being only 3.8%.
