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 at White Cliffs BF 2010. Black colour, ruby edges. Crunchie butter toffee aroma. Butterscotch. Horrible. I can’t drink it. The biggest diacetyl bomb I’ve ever come across.

Cask at Cask Pub & Kitchen on 5th Marh. Gold with partly lacing white head. Yeasty smoky aroma then strong smoked cheese kick which is very much an acquired taste. Citric notes follow before a bitter finish on a pleasantly textured mouthfeel. Excellent.

Cask handpull at Market Porter. Pale gold, lasting white head. Asectic sherberty hop on aroma. It’s ok if a bit too ascetic to be really pleasant.

Cask. Pours a dark brown - close to black - with an orange hue and a small off-white head. Nose is vaguely buttery first but then comes burned caramel, dried fruit and wood. Quite full-bodied, flat, raisins and woody notes with a warming alcohol finish. 180110
