The Bowland Beer Company Ltd. started operating in April 2003, brewing on a one Brewers Barrel (BBL) plant in a storeroom at the Bashall Barn farm shop.
In August 2003, a 5 BBL brewery was installed in an industrial unit in Accrington awaiting completion of its home at Bashall in what used to be the farm’s milking parlour. This equipment used to be installed in Southsea at the Fuzz and Firkin brewpub. The brewery was moved to Bashall, England’s smallest town, in late January and brewing started again in February 2004.
Every aspect of the brewery business is continually reviewed in efforts to produce beer that is loved by landlords and their customers. These efforts were rewarded in 2004 with a silver medal at the Peterborough beer festival and Best Bitter for ‘Sawley Tempted’ at the Norfolk and Norwich festival and the Best Beer at Clitheroe Beer Festival, 2006.
The Bowland Brewery is situated a few miles from the geographical heart of the United Kingdom and AONB, in an area that epitomises all that is good about this beautiful country.
