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 at Market Porter, 28th July 14. Musky Sorachi aroma, looks slightly murky, taste is lemony, musky and full. I like the Sorachi hop, as it is so different. Nice ale

Sun Inn, Kelvedon. Summer Beer Fest. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and light, fine carbonation. Hops are bitterish orange and grapefruit. Trace of hop spice and lemon. Light dry finish. Not bad! Pretty hoppy! Long bitter linger.

Cask (Guildford Arms, Edinburgh) - Golden in colour. Citrus, tea and peach in the aroma. Lemon, grapefruit and peach are in the taste. Quite refreshing and nice, but I was expecting a bit more from this hop.
