About
Lancaster Brewery is a multi-award-winning regional brewer of beautiful beers, born and brewed in the North West of England.

Our beer is available far and wide, in cask and in bottles in great pubs across the UK and as far afield as Latvia and China. Stockists also include supermarkets and off licenses regionally and nationally.

We do brewing properly. No fuss, no shortcuts, just proper old fashioned brewing using Freshly milled malt (milled on site the same day that we brew), whole-leaf hops and live yeast that, combined with our expertise, produces some of the best beer in the country.

Our purpose build brewery has been built to be sustainable with our power coming from solar panels on our roof and all our used malt going to feed local free range pigs. We take the environment and our local community seriously, hosting a series of festivals each year at our Brewery site in Lancaster for people to enjoy.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Aroma is a mix of malt and citrus. In the mouth there is an initial sharpness, with grapefruit to the fore, followed by fruitiness of oranges and bitterness of hops. They come and go at random. Finish is yucky bitter lemon. Bit of a mess really, I would have expected better from a solid brewery like Lancaster.

Bottle from local ASDA. Nose isn’t pronounced, but there is quite a bit going on there. Sweet malts contrasting with raisins and dark fruits. Pours dark copper with a frothy transient cream head. Initial impression in the mouth is of sharpness, bitter hops and spices before sweet malts and caramel come through later. Finish is both bitter and sweet. I quite like this, though I’m not too keen on the finish.

Bottle at home (18 months out of date !) Has a vague aroma of coffee, cream and some roast malts. Pours a dark reddish brown with a generous (but transient) frothy cream head. Initial taste is fruity, then some coffee and liquorice all with a smooth velvet texture. Finish is fruity too, damsons and blackberries. I like this.
