Quinno _ left this review about Bowland Brewery Beer Hall

A big barn of a place with a semi-rustic feel (you’ll be drinking alongside agricultural and industrial revolution era machinery, plus a glass fronted fermentation room) and it does feel a little contrived at points. A *lot* of cask spread all around the island bar though only one dark beer, I expected a little more variety; the ‘all year beer festival’ tag is not entirely accurate in that respect. Very well-drilled staff coping well with a close-to-capacity crowd on Friday afternoon. My pints of Bowland ales Boxer (NBSS 3.5) and Bumble (3) went down well enough, but the incessant noise and dim interior did make me feel a bit claustrophobic. No matter, the beer was good and the place busy which is 50% of the battle. For those who stay at the hotel, be aware that the room doors slam shut and the noise carries - so don’t expect a good night’s sleep on a Friday or Saturday night. 7.5

The whole complex is extremely impressive and its success has rewarded Bowland’s ambition. The beer hall is effectively a permanent festival/exhibition and obviously lacks pub atmosphere. I do agree with Al Bundy about it being noisy and corporate but it’s enjoyable in its own way. 22 cask on today and the place absolutely thriving, clearly the place is pulling visitors to this sleepy market town so hats off to them.

42 yup 42 pulls on the central servery round three sides in sets of six. Located in a large stone built old mill building, the brewery is at the rear and visible through large windows. To the left of the large main room are two smaller rooms; the Engine Room with an horizontal mill engine and the Chimney Room with the base of a chimney. Eight Bowland beers with another four or so from Marble plus a selection from other breweries, one set of six pulls is devoted to cider. Seating at long tables with benches in the main room and tables and chairs in the two side rooms. Pretty impressive as brewery taps go.
