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, gravity, Banbury Beer Festival 06-05-10 One of my first beers of the beer festival and interestingly it turned out to be one of my favourites. Gold in colour with a smattering of white bubbles for a head. Crisp, refreshing, with some lemon flavours running through, nicely bitter this is a tasty beer. A7 A4 F8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Cask. Clear yellow with a small white head. Intensely spicy hop aroma - if it wasn’t for the name I would’ve guessed Nelson Sauvin. Light body, fresh and fruity with exotic hop accents. Rather subdued bitterness. 200110

Cask handpull at Market Porter. It’s a bitter. Decent hop on finish especially. Fairly decent. Copper colour, thin lasting beige head. Decent bitter which I quite liked though Tom liked the Bowman more.

Cask, JDW, Hoylake. Clear golden with a thinnish white head. Sweetish nose with grapefruit and white bread notes. Showed promise.... Palate a bit on the thin side, some vague citrus and restrained hop giving a light bitterness. Finished quite fruity. Drinkable and not without character. Go on then, play it again...
