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.

Cask pint in The Pheasant, Wellington Shropshire. Not a lot going on in this fairly bland beer. Clear golden pour with a full white head. Boring blend of hops and light malts with neither showing any real dominance or character. Disappointing.

On cask at Neptune Inn, Chesterfield - Solid ruby brown body, thick two finger off white head. Nose is smokey, roast nuts, coffee and a bit of chocolate. Taste is a little more robust than this piss weak milds the Midlands put out, bit of treacle at the end makes each sip a good one.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol July 2015. Amber in colour with a decent, off-white, head. Big, bittering hops, a touch of citrus fruitness and some crisp, cereal malts. Ok.

Cask at Beerhouse. Black with a short tan head. Aroma is toasted coffee. Flavour is roast malt, vanilla, licqorice, a bit of ash on the finish. Gets good value for the strength.
