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.

Cask@The Clarence, New Brighton. Hazy faded gold colour with a thin white head. Nose had notes of citrus, biscuity malt and a touch of paint. Crisp and easy drinking with a soft fullish mouthfeel. Plenty of juicy fruit and nice hop bitterness in the flavour which lingered on into the finish. Tasty and very drinkable stuff.

Cask gravity at Mason & Taylor Hip Hop BF. Hazy pale gold lasting thin white head. Touch of sauvignon blanc lime goose berry aroma. Rather stunning to be honest. Wow that is full and intense in the mouth. Just so amazing the citra hop. Stunning aroma. One of the most pleasant beers I have drunk.

Cask at the Duke William, Stourbridge. Pours a very pale gold with a medium head. Aroma is some citrus hops and honey sweetness. Taste starts sweet with a medium bitter finish and a grassy aftertaste.

Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. Last of the cask! Opaque black beer - brown edges. Residual tan head. Light dry palate. Mild dark malt, quite sweet with an unusual (for the style) taste of dry bubblegum! A little fruitiness. Trace of lactose. Mild warmth in the semi dry finish. Alright.

Cask. A black beer with no head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and soy sauce. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of roasted malt combined with medium notes of soy sauce, leading to a dry and bitter finish. Nice.
