About Lancaster Brewery
Lancaster Brewery is a regional brewery on Lancaster Leisure Park, founded in 2005. Four distinguishing technical practices set the brewing apart: a 200-year-old yeast strain that smooths hop bitterness, malt milled the same day it's brewed (most breweries mill weeks ahead), whole hops rather than pellets for the full hop flavour spectrum, and brewing water drawn from an artesian well 80 metres below the brewery. The flagship Lancaster Blonde is supplied to major national pub groups; the brewery also exports to the USA, Norway, Latvia, Italy, and China, and is stocked nationally in Asda, Booths, Waitrose, Morrisons, Coop, Tesco, and Majestic Wine.
