Brewing started back in November 2010, quickly followed by us collecting the 'overall winner' award with our 'Copper Plate' session bitter, at the Bury Beer Festival just one month later. As well as a friendly local we're also a popular stop off for beer lovers following the East Lancashire Railway 'Rail Ale Trail'. We host great live music nights each Wednesday and Thursday, featuring a variety of local artists. You're also welcome to have a tour of the brewery; please get in touch if you'd like to come along or if you'd like to organise a group visit.

The eagle eyed amongst you will notice we’ve removed the old hops from the bar 👀

Due to a really difficult growing season for the hop farmers there’s been a slight delay in getting the new ones but they’re finally here and smelling INCREDIBLE and the bar will be looking ‘fresh’ again by the time we open on Monday 💚

More news to follow soon on the Green Man itself 😉
