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 at GBBF 2015, day 5 - London. Pours clear yellow with a foamy white head. Interesting aroma, lots of plum fruits, mango, lemon, melon, maybe a touch of butyric acid. Medium sweet flavor with doughy bread, strawberry, melon, cantaloupe, faint green pepper. Light bodied, a little oily, with fine carbonation. Finishes sweet, with doughy white bread, mellow bile, more cantaloupe, melon, light green pepper. A little bit odd.

Cask: hand-pulled half-pint on 17th July 2015 at The Station, Oakengates. Pale amber with a white topping. Hops all the way here, the pale, light malty presence is a mini-sweetening undertone to the hop contents bitterness and mild citrus feel. Decent.
