Dan Johnson General Manager at Bowland Beer Hall, said:
“To be recognised as one of the UK’s best beer pubs is a huge honour – but to be the only one flying the flag for Lancashire in this category makes it even more special. Our team lives and breathes beer, and this is a real celebration of our commitment to craft, community and quality.”
Bowland Beer Hall stands shoulder to shoulder with Bowland Brewery at the heart of Holmes MIll, Clitheroe – the gateway town to the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Ribble Valley.
