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.

20/2/2020. Cask at the Chelmsford Winter Beer & Cider Festival 2020. Pours dark brown with a bubbly off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, malt, caramel, coffee, nut, light ash and hint of liquorice. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Moderate body, slight watery texture (but ok for its abv). Easy drinking stout.

Cask at Lych Gate Tavern, Wolverhampton Pours almost black with a small beige head. Blueberries and liquorice in the nose. In the mouth there is an initial sharpness, but also an underlying smoothness. Blueberries, blackcurrants and lemon peel. The finish has lemon and some hops. Nice but not a typical porter.

Cask @ Fox & Goose, Hebden Bridge. Near black with an off-white head. It's an understated stout with its roasted malts best in its nose, but always light in taste.
