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.

5/10/2019. Bottle from Priest Town Brewery Bottle Shop, Preston shared at the Wroclaw GP bottle share. Poured slightly hazy orange gold with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of spicy hops, citrus, passion fruit, pine, malt and tropical fruit. Moderate to medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Nice piney spicy finish. Very nice, especially the aroma.

GBBF, 7th Aug 2019. Keg, poured a murky orange, weak white topping. Fruit smoothie with oranges and grapefruit to the fore in both the aroma and taste, I prefer beer to this sort of thing; but I suppose it was 'one of my five a day'.
