Thwaites Brewery Move

Thwaites has started a new chapter in its history – as brewing has started on a new site in Ribble Valley, Lancashire.

The first official commercial beer (Thwaites Best Cask) was brewed yesterday in its new, purpose-built brewery.

The company was intending to move the brewery, head office team and stables to the new home in September but damage caused by trespassers in May led to the plans being brought forward.

Cranes have been used to lift vessels out of the old brewery, over 600 metres of pipework has been laid and brewers have completed weeks of testing. Yesterday history as made, as the first official brewing took place.
