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.

Hand-pulled cask pint in The Pump & Truncheon, Blackpool on 9th Sep 2016. Good lacing from the white head, golden, clear body. Mild fruity esters with a little garlic in the nose, the taste had a citrus finish with a bitter start and middle, dry aftertaste. Decent enough for a ’single hopped’ beer (which I think it is).

Gravity cask at the Last Heretic, Burton-on-Trent. Mid-gold, flat with a barely discernible white ring of head. Slightly juicy hoppy scent, with a suggestion of hay. Sweet fruity taste with more bitterness in the finish. Thin to medium body with lingering orange peel in the aftertaste. Decent but could be so much better with some added ’oomph’.
