Moorhouse’s Brewery has created a celebration case of beers called The Best of Lancashire, ahead of Lancashire Day on Saturday (27th November).
As well as a couple of Moorhouse’s beers, the 12-pack boasts beers from nine other brewers:
- Accidental Brewery
- Avid Brewing Co
- Beer Brothers Brewing Co
- Chain House Brewing Co
- Crankshaft Brewery
- Farm Yard Ales
- Northern Whisper Brewing Co
- Problem Child Brewing
- Rivington Brewing Co.
This is the first time so many Lancashire breweries have joined forces on this scale, and it offers local beer lovers the chance to sample the best products from some of the county’s leading brewers.
The case include pale and bitter ales, a Belgian blonde, IPAs, and stouts. Moorhouse’s much-loved Blonde Witch and Pendle Witches Brew are both in there.
Antonia Price, marketing manager of Moorhouse’s Brewery, said: “The last 18 months has been a very tough time for the brewing trade, so we wanted to use Lancashire Day as a way of celebrating the real talent that is right here in the county.
“Lancashire boasts some of the most innovative small breweries in the whole of the UK, so it’s fantastic to bring them together for the very first time. The Best of Lancashire is a true representation of the county’s brewing expertise and we are proud to bring it to the public.”
The Best of Lancashire pack is available to buy from now until the end of December in the Moorhouse’s web shop.
The Flying Hopsman
In the spirit of Lancashire Day, Moorhouse’s has also teamed up with East Lancashire Railway to create a new, limited edition 4.5% ABV pale ale, The Flying Hopsman.
The beer was brewed on Moorhouse’s pilot kit, meaning only 288 pints have been produced. The bar team from the Trackside, in Bury, and the Buffer Stop,s in Rawtenstall — East Lancashire Railway’s two much-loved pubs — visited Moorhouse’s and selected the ingredients, working alongside one its top brewers, Jordan Hamer.
The Flying Hopsman is available at both pubs now.
