10 Best Breweries in Great Sankey

"A local gem, located in the Baltic Triangle, Love Lane Brewery is continuing to offer up their innovative brews during the pandemic, with a whole host of new beers available to try. Some brews have emerged in time for winter, known as Sgt Peppermint, which will be available online from Friday 20 November. The brewery is well known for its innovative flavours and has concocted this winter warming brew, a stout which tastes like mint choc chip ice cream and it’s 12%!"

"What’s boss about Liverpool’s brewery scene is the sheer scope of it. You’ve got your microbreweries and then you’ve got a renovated rubber factory transformed into an 18,000 hectolitre brewery capable of producing more than three million pints. The latter goes by the name of Love Lane Brewery and houses a family of beers and gins under one roof, designed to keep the city’s rich brewing heritage alive."

"Love Lane Brewery Bar & Kitchen could be one of our favourite venues in the city. You can explore the working brewery on a special tour, tuck into some delicious food from the kitchen or drinks some or book yourself a place on their special Rooted Real Gin Yoga class which relaunches this month. Find out more and book here."

"Although these guys have been knocking about since 2015, they are but a matter of days into celebrating the launch of their brand new brewery and tap room. Black Lodge is a small batch brewery with experimentation and beer-based alchemy at its heart. Showcasing an ever-changing line up of both local and international brews, this is the place to come if you want to dabble in something a little bit different."

"You cant give up now your just getting to the best bits of our Liverpool real ale trail at Black Lodge Brewery. This is a one of a kind beer lovers find, tucked into one of the many warehouses that are now being transformed into Liverpool’s most popular social spaces. When you arrive you are confronted by a wall of gleaming white tile devoid of marketing ploys, brands and colour."

"Some of the brains behind Liverpool Craft Beer, The 23 Club and Camp and Furnace have joined forces to brew, bottle and pour some of the best and most intriguing beers the city has ever seen. Ask for the Raspberry Berliner Weisse."

"I know this list is based around what and where to eat in Liverpool, but I thought I’d mention this just because of how popular it is. Pretty much everywhere you go these days you can find somewhere selling craft beer, and Liverpool’s not really any different. We’ve got lots of places for a good drink, but the Cains Brewery seems to be the favorite of just about everyone in Liverpool at the minute."

"It's one of the most up-and-coming areas in the city and it's easy to see why when you wander around. There is a whole host of new bars, pubs and venues open across the village which was once derelict for many years. On a hot day, all the venues put out seating outside, including the Peaky Blinders bar and the Baltic Market."

"Another must-visit in the Cains Brewery Village, this alehouse is the very definition of a hidden gem. The Brewery Tap was bought by Mikhail Hotel, who wanted ‘in’ on the bright future of the happening brewery village. It’s the perfect place to head for a hoppy pale ale."

"As well as the Beatles Story, you’ll also find the Merseyside Maritime Museum, the Tate Liverpool, and the International Slavery Museum. Finally, football fans might want to take a stadium tour of Anfield – the home of Liverpool FC."

"Manchester is a great city and there is so much to see and do as a family and its sad that its often overlooked when people are visiting the UK. Similarly to London, Manchester is jam packed with museums covering so many different areas and each providing a different and unique experience to children and families. Below are my pick of the best museums in Manchester for children which are all a great day out for families and most are free, so great for keeping the costs down on adventures!"

"Buile Hill Park is a Grade II listed public park and hall and is the second oldest park in the city, after Peel Park. The park is also the largest in the city, as well as one of the most popular. Buile Hill Park has a significant history, with close links to the artist LS Lowry, as well as being used as a military base in both world wars."
