Pub of the Season

Pub of the season SUMMER 2022 RIVINGTON BREWERY TAP ROOM

It gives me great pleasure to announce that the Central Lancashire CAMRA Pub of the Season for Summer 2022 has been awarded to the RIVINGTON BREWERY CO. TAP ROOM. There can be few more idyllic places to while away a few hours on a sunny summer afternoon than this, the beer garden providing uninterrupted views across the tranquil waters of the reservoir to the Pigeon Tower and Rivington Pike beyond. You could be forgiven for thinking you were in the Lake District, such is the scenery, and I think we’re sometimes guilty of looking further afield when we have such beautiful countryside on our own doorstep.

The brewery itself, based behind the Tap room at Home Farm was formed in 2014 and has gone from strength to strength over recent years. This is a craft brewery that focuses on more modern and innovative beer styles, is hugely committed to using local goods and services, and produces hop-forward beers with

a wide range of styles and strengths. New beers are regularly added to the brewery’s portfolio and through regular self-critical analysis and critique from other local like-minded brewers they ensure that the beers are the very best they can be.

Housed in a converted stable block, the Brewery Tap opened in 2019, is a recent addition to the Good Beer Guide and showcases the brewery’s extensive range of ales with two cask ales on handpump and a further fifteen real ales on keg taps…cider and guest craft ales are also available. The bar is lofty, with bare stone walls and a large stone-topped bar counter and was recently extended into the adjoining stable block providing a family-friendly dog-free zone. You’ll find plenty of seating in the main tap room and the recent extension, both of which are heated and there are also large covered and uncovered areas outside for drinking. Walkers and their dogs are welcome and it is a great location for campers with its own campsite accepting caravans & motorhomes.

The presentation will be taking place at 2pm on Sunday 17th July and we’d encourage you all to attend to sample what this great pub has to offer… expect a warm welcome and to find innovative beers packed with huge flavour and character.
