Thwaites Brewery
Regional Brewery
in
Mellor Brook,
Lancashire,
England 🏴
Associated with 25 Venues
Established in 1807
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.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Smell - medium strong, hoppy, malt, later some weak caramel. Foam - quite thin, to the medium side, very soft, little creamy, not watery, definite hit of hops biting tongue and other parts of mouth. Quite small or medium size, can spill all 0.33l bottle into 0.5l glass when pouring like retard. While color with little yellowy notes. Appearance - almost fully clear, brown orange no visible bubbles. Taste - hoppy, bitter at start, then quick hit of hops in aftertaste, then calms down and later down the way hits again. I dont know why I keep buying hoppy beers ad I dont really enjoy them, bit too much hops for me here, but its IPA after all, DUH.
