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. A golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of citrusy hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, lemons and other fruits combined with hops and a light touch of diacethyl, leading to a bitter finish.

Cask, handpump at Bar Fringe, Manchester, 20.01.11 Loads of soapy hops in the mouth, bit too soapy for me actually. Hazy gold appearance with medium white head. It’s fine but I’ve had much better from Allgates. A6 A3 T6 P4 Ov13 3.2

Cask, Ship and Mitre, Liverpool. Near enough black in colour with a mid sized tan head. Nose had plenty of roasted character with some coffee and dark fruit notes. Sweetish taste, with similar elements to the nose. Warming booze hit kicked in towards the finish as did some bitterness. Really pretty tasty stuff. Well done. .
