Starting in February we are holding our very own Lancashire Brewery Challenge – where we pit head to head nineteen of the best of breweries from the traditional boundaries of Lancashire until we have a winner.

First round ties will be held throughout February. These ties consist of one cask beer from each brewery, the first to sell out sees that brewery progress to round 2. The second round will be held in March. Again this round will see breweries putting up two cask beers. The four winners will then compete in the semi finals, where two different barrels from each brewery will be put up, the first brewery to sell both barrels being the winner. These ties will be held in April. The two winning breweries then meet in the grand final at the end of April, when again it is two barrels against two. The first to sell out both of their beers are pronounced the winners.
