The Bowland Brewery is based at Holmes Mill in Clitheroe and was started in 2003 when the present owner decided to follow his dream to establish a viable micro-brewery in the heart of the Ribble Valley. Located in part of the Holmes Mill complex, the brewery comes complete with mill chimney and features a beer hall, brewery tap and live music venue.
Over the last fifteen years the brewery has gone from strength to strength and picked up a number of awards along the way. As the UK’s passion for real ales has grown, Bowland Brewery has expanded its range of cask beers as well as serving an increased number of local pubs, bars and restaurants.
The brewery continues to grow but they still keep sight of their founding principles of only using the finest ingredients in order to create the finest cask beers.
