Brewsmith Beer

Brewsmith is a family brewery set up in 2014 by James, Jennifer and Ted Smith on the Cuba Industrial Estate, off Bolton Road North on the edge of Ramsbottom. It runs a 10-barrel plant and has built a reputation for careful, well-made beer in cask, keg and bottle-conditioned form, rooted in traditional British styles.

The range runs from Brewsmith Bitter and a smooth Oatmeal Stout to hop-led pales such as Brewsmith Pale, Nelson Sauvin Pale and Five A Day IPA, and the beers turn up regularly on bars across the North West and further afield. The brewery itself is a working unit rather than a bar, so the best way to drink Brewsmith is usually in the pubs that stock it. Brewery tours have been offered, so it is worth getting in touch before making the trip out to Ramsbottom.
