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.

Black Country Beano. Cask at the Jolly Crispin. Almost clear pale gold beer. Little white head. Palate is smooth and light and a little soft. Fine carbonation. Strong floral flavours here, with elderflower peeping above the patch. Lovely mild citrus fruits. Finishes fresh. Really nicely joined up. Could drink this all day!

Cask at the Jolly Crispin. Pours pale gold with a small head. Aroma is leggy, with sherbet and straw. Biscuit malt throughout. Pleasant but nothing spectacular.

The Sun Inn, Kelvedon. Summer Beer Fest. Clear gold - amber beer. Little bubbly white head. Palate is smooth and dry. Clean malt. Very interesting to try Waimea again,. The Brewdog beer with it was a skunk bomb! Here there is juicy citrus and marmalade. Lemon - lime and mild grassy skunk. A little earth as well. The orange - lemon - lime vibe is really good. Finishes smooth.

Cask @ Waters Green Tavern in Macclesfield. A hoppy golden ale, but not much of a head. Its fruit flavours are more than apparent.

Cask, handpump, half, shared, NWAF ’13. Deep dark brown coloured body. Bare naked surface. Espresso aroma, alright. Cold coffee ground in flavour. Coffee bitterness to the finish. Nice, feels a bit thin in the mouth (Manchester, 24.01.2013).
