BAREARTS BREWERY
The brewery
Barearts Brewery is in Todmorden, nestling by the arches close to the famous Gauxholme viaduct, which carries the railway over the Rochdale Canal. Owners Trevor and Kathryn Cook ran a pub in nearby Rossendale for 30 years before setting up Barearts in 2005. Kathy is an artist and her work adorns the Barearts Beer Shop and Gallery just 1/2 mile from the brewery. The beer shop claims to be the only licensed nude art gallery in Todmorden, but we suspect it's unique!
What beers are here?
Barearts brews over 20 different varieties of triple dropped, bottle conditioned beers, including traditional bitters, pale ales, fruit beers, stouts and barley wines. The brewery has also developed a range of vintage ales which are cellared for at least a year. Most of the beers are named after the style of them or the type of hops used, but there is one beer called 'Beer'.
Where to try
Barearts beers are only available by mail order or direct from the quirky pink Beer Shop and Gallery on Rochdale Road in Todmorden. The courtyard behind the shop opens out onto the Rochdale Canal.
Did you know?
Trevor and Kathy hand-tie labels on to the bottles to make them easier to wash after use. Recycling is encouraged and since 2009 William, the brewer's son, has washed over 111,000 bottles for reuse!
