Cains Brewery is set to re-open in Liverpool this spring, nine years since its well-known beer range was last seen in the city.
The Cains name was acquired in 2018 by entrepreneur Andrew Mikhail, who owns Cains Brewery Village in Stanhope Street, part of Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle.
The brewery will return across three storeys, with head brewer and general manager Andrew Hayes at the helm.
He told The Business Desk: “Watching the tanks being delivered this week makes it all so real. I, like so many others, can’t wait for the first taste of this famous Liverpool brew.
“The city has been missing a signature beer since the closure of Cains and I’m very excited to bring it back.”
He added: “The Raisin Beer was one of the best-loved beers Cains ever produced and will be one of the first beers to come out of the brewery when it returns this year. We are excited to bring the original recipe back to life for all to enjoy.”
Robert Cain established the brewery in 1858 and it was revived by brothers Sudarghara and Ajmail Dusanj in 2002. It went into administration in 2008, although the brothers were able to buy back the brewery and eight of its pubs. However, brewing stopped in 2013.
