Things Go Bump in the Beer @ Borough

With Hallow'een fast approaching we've got the country's spookiest brewery flitting into town on October 24.

Huddled in the shadow of Pendle Hill, where Britain's most notorious witches were from, Lancashire brewery Moorhouse's takes its inspiration from its sinister local history to brew up some award-winning beers and is bringing them to lovebeer@borough this weekend.

As well as giving tastings of its Champion Beer of Britain, Black Cat Mild, Moorhouse’s will also be showcasing Blonde Witch, Premier Bitter and Pride of Pendle, the brewery will also be showcasing some of it seasonal brews like Broomstick Bitter and Black Witch.

The sessions are at 1pm and 3.30pm on Saturday October 24 and tickets are just £15 from the Rake or Utobeer stall - really good fancy dress gets you in free!*

Moorhouse’s is capitalising on its long-standing success by investing £3.6m in a new brewhouse, which is scheduled for completion in February 2011.

Nice to see Moorhouse's expanding. Pendle witche's brew was one of the first cask ales I ever tried and was instrumental in pulling me away from Lager. An underrated brewery.

In the US, Moorhouse calls their brew "Blonde Bitch" rather than Witch, which is kind of peculiar to me. Or, maybe you were just editing with a euphemism? :)

Nope, no euphemism, they call it Blonde Bitch in the States because that's what all their importers said they should do - but it just wouldn't wash over here.
