PHOENIX

Beers from Heywood

Oak Brewing Company Ltd, Phoenix Brewery, Green Lane, Heywood, Greater Manchester

Established in Ellesmere Port on Merseyside in 1982, Oak Brewery moved to to Heywood in 1991 before changing their name to Phoenix in 1996.

Phoenix now supply over 150 pubs in the North West and West Yorkshire. Whilst the brewery's Wobbly Bob is now almost legendary they also specialise in seasonal beers, producing special ales on an almost monthly basis.

Oak's owner, Tony Allen, claims that the brewery is now recreating exactly the same tasting beer as that previously produced in Ellesmere Port.
