George Wright Brewery

Our brewery started to produce and sell quality ales in the spring of 2003. The brewery consisted of a 2 ½ barrel system purchased from the Wolf Brewery in 2002. It soon became apparent this was far too small and a 5 barrel brewing plant was sourced from the Tomlinson brewery 6 months later.

Despite producing award winning ales, we believed consistency and quality go hand in hand and whereas the 5 barrel plant could produce quality ales it was never going to produce the consistency we required. In late 2003 the decision was taken to purchase a new brewery. The new brewery would be a fully computer controlled 25 barrel plant housed in a 7000 sq. ft building, producing both consistent and high quality ales demanded by all our customers.

The new brewery was designed using a CAD 3D model that enabled Keith to ‘walk around’ the brewery before it was built. The whole brewing process has been designed to ensure that the highest quality ale possible is produced and a substantial investment in both time and money has been made to ensure that every cask is perfect.

Since 2005 we have been producing and selling a wide range of fine quality beers and ales from what is probably the most advanced microbrewery in the UK. George Wright’s is a small independent craft brewery based in Rainford. Owned and run by award winning brewer Keith Wright the brewery produces a wide range of beers and ales available in Cask and Bottles.
