Established in February 2011, Worsthorne Brewing Co Ltd is one of the newest breweries in Lancashire. The brewery was originally intended to be based in Worsthorne, a village just outside Burnley, on the edge of the Pennine Moors. After a long search for suitable premises, it was eventually established a short distance away in Briercliffe, another village on the edge of the moors. The Briercliffe Brewery is a 5.5 barrel plant, and is run by the owner and brewer, Michael Whittaker. Worsthorne beers are quickly gaining a reputation for their quality, and can be found in many pubs and clubs around the area, in Pendle, Rossendale, West Yorkshire and the Ribble Valley as well as Burnley. Our newest beer, 'Packhorse', is proving to be a very popular beer, and is rapidly becoming one of our best sellers. Our mild ale 'Chestnut Mare', is also gaining popularity, as drinkers try it for the first time. Many pubs no longer stock mild ales, and beer lovers are discovering it for the first time, and like what they find.
