Description
Like many people in the Revolutionary period, Sam Adams, one of the original revolutionaries and the cousin of American President John Adams, brewed beer and knew a thing or two about it.

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.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Pale gold with a small creamy-smooth head. Has dry hoppy notes, but very light and almost sessionable - it’s texture certainly is with a lovely smoothness in the mouth. Has a good fuller citrus fruity nose between lemon and grapefruit.

On cask at Three Tuns, Dronfield - Good near black body, off white head. Both the nose and taste carried a gentle hoppy quality to it, mixed with a certain amount of burntness. Lasting finish, quite a decent mild this one.

Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival in KEGS. Cask. Almost clear yellowish gold beer, small bubbly white head. Smooth palate with mild fine carbonation. Mild pale malts, not that sweet. Little floralness. Generic citrus. Just a trace of tea in the smooth finish. Interesting and drinkable.
