## About

In 2009 Blackedge Brewery was founded born of Shaun and Wayne’s passion for good beer. 15 years on we have become a well-known award-winning microbrewery at the heart of the small independent brewing community in the North West. 

Our dedication to excellence in brewing shines through in the award-winning beers we produce. Using only the finest natural ingredients, we use an expert blend of crushed malts, hops & yeasts to suit a variety of beer styles from light to dark, malty to hoppy, session beer to DIPA. The brewing methods we use are traditional but the beers we produce are hop-forward modern beers in cask, keg & cans.

Inspired not only by the history of British beer making, we have also been influenced by our visits to the US Pacific West Coast where the standard of brewing is remarkable. We like to think we have found a good balance between traditional British beer and modern craft. Ultimately, we produce beers that we like to drink; hop forward pales and dark beers packed full of body and flavour.
