Welcome to Rivington Brewing Co.

Rivington Brewing Co is a modern craft brewery & taproom founded by Ben Stubbs & Mike Richardson in 2014, located on Home Farm in the heart of the Lancashire countryside in the UK.

Our focus is on creating the best possible hoppy beers, lagers, stouts, fruited sours & our most recent project, barrel aged ales. We are probably best known for our hop forward pale ales & IPAs, with our flagship pale ale, “Never Known Fog Like It” consistently being our most recognised and popular beer.

From humble beginnings of brewing absolute swill on a plastic home brew kit for Mike’s wedding, with no prior experience apart from reading John Palmer’s “How To Brew”, to brewing on a 20 hectolitre kit today producing around 2,500 hectolitres (2024), with an additional 30 barrels in our new barrel store, it’s been over 10 years of organic growth, thanks to the support of our local community.

Based on a working farm, we opened our taproom & camp site in 2019, which overlooks Lower Rivington Reservoir at the foot of Rivington Pike, and boasts fresh beer pours, cans, merchandise & the best street food around from Wednesday to Sunday every week.

Outside of beer, we are proud to have introduced various extracurricular social groups into our community, including a monthly walking club, a weekly cycling club, and a running club of around 70 attendees.

It’s our belief that it is the team that makes the company, not just the individual, and in 2023, we introduced the 4-day work week to allow our team more time to rest, recharge, and increase productivity within work.

Although our inspiration is drawn from all over the world, our focus remains very much local. Rivington will continue to concentrate on making the best beer, in the styles that we love, for the people in our communities.
