## About

The Muirhouse Brewery started on a 100 litre plant in our family garage, with brewing taking place every Sunday. It was named so because Richard's (the owner) surname is Muir. We supplied pubs and beer festivals and the feedback was great, plus we won some awards. The decision was made to purchase a 2BBL brewery from 3B’s Brewery in Blackburn, and a unit was taken on to house it. As time pushed on, this was not enough to meet demand, so a bigger plant was purchased and currently brews on a 4BBL scale twice a week. We brew with a passion to create great products full of flavour - after all, our name is on the pump clip. We endeavour to go up and above to give our customers a great service - great beers with guest beers alongside our own.

As of 2024 Muirhouse beers are conract brewed at Full Mash Brewery.
