Description
The Muirhouse brewery started on a 100 litre plant in our family garage with brewing taking place every week on a Sunday.

It was named the Muirhouse Brewery because Richard’s (The Owner) surname is muir and was brewed in his house's garage.

We brew beer with a passion to create great products full of flavour after all our name is on the pump clip. We endeavour to go up and above to give our customers a great service, great beers with guest beers alongside our own.

Handpull cask at the Wellington Arms, Bedford. Light gold with a nice little white head. The natural carbonation is strong with this one. Light aroma of grapefruit and grainy malts... ho hum. The initial taste is incredible: sweet with bittering hops battering the edges. Unfortunately the end of the sip is quite bland and somewhat astringent, so taste balances out to a respectable but by no means world-beating 7. Medium to long bitter finish. There’s a moment when this beer is damn near perfect. I just wish that moment was longer.
