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 half-pint at The Crown Inn, Oakengates on 28th Apr 2017. Most likely the beer of the festival for me, loved the richness and flavour. Black bodied, thin beige head. Loads going on in both the nose and taste: coffee, treacle, chocolate, singed toffee and a light piney bitterness. Not as sweet as my description may indicate, this was a well balanced and tasty Mild.

Oldham Beer Festival 2017. Brighter golden in colour. Theres lots of sugars, with a slightly metallic aroma and taste from this. It’s overly strong tasting for its strength.
