Closed long-term 20/1/2022 with its future uncertain. PLEASE NOTE, the Visitor Centre remains open, just the Brewery Bar has closed. Confirmed 3/2/2023 that they plan to move to the UPC packaging facility on Ashton Road, Bredbury by 2027/28. History: Sited in what was the former 'Unicorn Room', this was an impressive and bright space incorporating both visitor centre, and a bar. Approached via the reception area then down some steps, you went through a well-lit corridor-cum-standing drinking area decorated with images of the brewer's brands and historic bottles. Then it emerged into the main bar area; plenty of light wood furniture married well with the hardwood flooring. A nod to the past was evinced by a wall containing old copper brewing vessels. Primarily a space to entertain visitors who had completed the brewery tour, yet it operated as a bar and cafe in its own right. Good place to be the first to try the seasonal beers as well as doing light lunches, tapas, and cakes.
