Description
We are a modern craft brewery and tap room founded in 2014 in Rivington. Focusing on innovative modern styles, while drawing inspiration from the past.

Our inspiration comes from the world over, but our focus is very much local. We concentrate on making the best beer in styles we love, for the people in our local communities. Our passion for the North West is paid back tenfold. We have local landlords who buy whatever we make, no matter the style - from barleywine to grisette - we’re really lucky that so many places support us because they like our beers, and their customers love to try anything local. The people we look up to are all the brewers who are never content with the beers that they’re making - you can always be better.

Can. A mild haze on this yellowish gold beer, small bubbly off white head. Palate is light, mildly dry and, has a good fine minerally crispness. Light bodied pale malts, bordering thin but, they do the job asked and deliver a light creamy sweetness. The wonderfully thought out quartet of hops deliver bright modern hop flavours. Luminosa lemonade is obvious, hot on its heels are bright juicy tangerine, lime and a little melon. Strata somewhat anonymous for me. Finishes light with a good hop spice nip. Super duper juicy hop delight.

Can at home, 19th September 2025. Pours hazy, but not thick with haze. Aroma is candy, fruity pineapple. Taste is sweet, candied fruits, pineapple, thinnish mouthfeel. Disappointing actually, and I’m not a fan of OT, Rivington have done better beers solo
