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.

Light amber coloured body with a bit of an off-white coloured head. Aroma of strong malt, light hops and a tiny bit of spice. Medium-bodied; Strong malty flavour with a touch of caramel and pit fruits, all with a hoppy overtone. Aftertaste shows mild malt, alcohol and a generally subtle hop balance. Overall, a good beer - not amazing, but definitely worth trying! I sampled this beer on cask at The Market Porter in Borough, London, England on 13-December-2008.

Cask, half pint at Cloisters Bar. Very nice rosewood body with just a ring of bubbles on the top. Aroma shortage of fruity malts. A touch of hop resin in flavour with sparse hints of caramel malts. Easy going beer [Edinburgh, 26.10.2008].

Cask-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol 29/11/08. Deep gold with no head. Sweetish, corny aroma with a touch of hay. Sweet malt flavour to start, before plenty of bitterness and a hoppy, dry finish. Ok.

On gravity at Swindon BF 30/10/08. Dark brown with reddish undertones and an off-white head. Slight aroma of toffee and nuts. Flavour had a dull sweetness, some earth and a slight roastiness before a short, dry finish. Tasted straight after Ascot’s On The Rails and did not compare well.
