Finally, have to say East Lancs boasts two, fine large brewers. Moorhouse's are definitely on a par with Thwaites - in my humble opinion. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00471253310229041882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-89681778411049286112013-05-13T07:08:19.466+01:002013-05-13T07:08:19.466+01:00Nail on head, Tand.

Each beer stands alone and blends the expertise they have at their disposal with a genuine desire to create something new.

They have a very nice hospitality suite now.<br /><br />Leigh: The thng is they have gone into it with full commitment and allows the brewers to do what they want.

And Tavern Porter is, imho, one of the best bottled porters on the market. A great brewery and they seem to pitching the new brewery just right, without losing identity or trying to be something they aren't. It helps, of course, if the beers are excellent.

This was back in 1974, and I believe the brew-house was only about eight years old at the time; having been completely re-built in 1966.<br /><br />There was no sampling room, but we were treated to several pints in a pub next door.

I hope the mild-drinkers of the northwest aren't collectively put off; anyone who likes Holt's Mild or Owd Oak (and lots of people evidently do) should go for this in a big way.Philhttp://ohgoodale.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
