About
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.

19th February 2014
Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival, KEGS. Cask. Clear gold beer, bubbly white head. Palate is smooth with good fine carbonation. Smooth malt base, a little sweet. The 5256 hops don’t quite sing here like they did in the Howling Hops and Crouch Vale beers, but they still bring a nice peachy accentuated fruity hop, lightly tangy. Whisper of floralness. Light dry finish. Good condition bringing out the best here.

AllGates - Double Chocolate Stout from Wigan Brew House

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
On cask at Sheaf View, Sheffield - Dark brown body, thick tan head, that laced all the way to the end. The nose is what you would expect, of dark chocolate with a hint of coffee and a bit smokey. This stout has no real bitter bite, is slightly sweet and very smooth. For a Stout it is light in the mouth and leaves no filmy residue. Very nice.

Cask @ Britons Protection, Manchester. Pours a very pale and cloudy colour but settles into a perfect golden ale with a thick head. It’s citric hop based with a mild grapefruit and lemon character. Fairly smooth in the palate.
