## About

The brewery started life in 2003 when the founder decided to follow his dream to establish a viable micro-brewery. Over the next ten or so years the Bowland Brewery went from strength to strength picking up lots of awards and commendations along the way. The core range of cask beers has continued to expand, as has the number of pubs, bars and restaurants we supply. To keep up with demand the brewery itself has also had a little growth spurt. The founding principles of using only the finest ingredients in the perfect proportion with an obsessive attention to detail remain the guiding principles of today. We have simply scaled the process up a bit.

In March 2015 the brewery relocated to become part of an exciting redevelopment of the Holmes Mill complex in the heart of Clitheroe. The new home, complete with mill chimney, albeit truncated, will feature a beer hall, brewery tap and live music venue.
