Description
The oldest surviving brewery in Lancashire founded by Daniel Thwaites started brewing in 1807 based on Syke Street, Blackburn. A new modern brewery was built in 1966. In 2014, they entered into an agreement with Marstons that resulted in much of the beer being brewed by Marstons in Wolverhampton. In 2015, Wainright and Lancaster Bomber were sold to Marston. In 2015 we made the decision to reinvigorate our brewery, we wanted to return to our old ways and take pride in every beer we have our name on. This led to our new craft brewery being built at the foot of the Ribble Valley. Opened in 2018, our small team of brewers created our delicious beers by hand using the latest equipment, a step away from automation and mass production.
Today, Thwaites still produces beer but it in much smaller quantities as it only sells to its own estate of pubs, inns and hotels, which it brews from its Ribble Valley brewery.

Tap at franklin kareoke , rome , italy. Clear yellow small white head. Mild aroma i cannot discern any details not even the alc. There is a sweet malts and honey note though. Flavor is sweet fruits, honey, sweet malts, hardly any bitterness even towards the end, but a lingering fruity to dried fruity sweetness.

Cask at the Sun Inn, which smelt of vomit, but was in the process of cleaning up as we arrived. The beer itself poured pale gold with a thin white head. Aromas of faint acetic acid, malt and lemon. I'm guessing this has been on a good few days. Quite tired tasting overall, and flat. Might be decent in good condition.

Cask at the Sun Inn, Preston. Pours clear golden amber with a thin white head. Aroma not helped by the fact someone has just been sick on the fruit machine. Once you get past the acidic waft of the end of someone's all-day drinking binge, there's a red fruit and faint nuttiness going on. Taste is quite full-bodied. More fruit notes. Nice winter quaffer.
