Wigan Brew House (prev AllGates)
Microbrewery
in Wigan,
Greater Manchester,
England 🏴
Associated Venue: Wigan Brew House Taproom
Established in 2006
Since 2006 as All Gates and 2017 as Wigan Brewhouse we have been brewing fine craft beers in the heart of Wigan, in a fully restored 19th Century Grade II-listed, tower brewery, in the process re-establishing brewing in the town centre after a near forty year absence, following the closure of Moorfield’s Brewery in the 1970’s.
Combining heritage with imagination we put true Northern soul into our award-winning beers to bring you an exciting range of beers, whenever inspiration bites. However one thing our ales have in common is they are part of an outstanding range of modern beers, but built on cask ale tradition. To this tradition we have added aromatic hops from the New World. This enables us to produce hop-forward beers but retaining balance and subtlety; beers with true Northern soul.

It was actually a cancelled 3 before 10 train that facilitated this beer at Victoria Tap in the station last night whilst I waited for the next one home - after a wonderful day of weather in Manchester. Clear golden session ale, mild hoppiness to an easy drinking texture. Decent head. Never going to rate highly but a steady choice.

Old rating from 03-10-15 - Had at the Jersey CAMARA beer festival. Pours light golden in colour with a white head. Aromas of fruit & peach. Quite a lot going on in the taste, mash of American Perle hops & elderflower providing a mix of fruit, citrus, strawberry, melon and a mild green pepper flavour. Apparently it's brewed with a high proportion of wheat. Aftertaste is very much on the sweet side. My least favourite of the 7 beers I tried.

Beer 10 at the Wigan Beer Festival 2025. Darkest beer so far at the fest. Slightly sticky-sweet, very good red ale maltiness.

Beer Number 3 at the
Wigan Beer Festival 2025. Nice bit of citrus here, still a hoppiness attached though. Easy enough.
