7.00pm Gather at the brewery- this is on Brewery Yard, off Wallgate- at the back of the Post Office (Brewery Yard is between the post office and the Last Orders pub). I will ask for the tour to await arrivals from the train from Manchester that gets into WIgan Wallgate at 7.02pm.

DIRECTIONS- From Wigan North Western turn up Wallgate towards the town centre; from Wigan Wallgate turn left up Wallgate- brewery is behind the post office (5 mins from WNW station and 2 mins from Wallgate station).

Allgates are one of Greater Manchester's established microbreweries, brewing beers in Wigan since 2006.

They do a brewery tour for £12 including beer and a pie and pea supper afterwards (or sandwiches if doing a tour Friday or Saturday night).

THE ALLGATES BREWERY TOUR

Why not try a guided tour of All Gates Brewery?
Tours are available Monday - Saturday. They start around 7pm (earlier starts can be accommodated) and last a couple of hours (there’s beer on the way around, don’t worry). In that time you’ll get a beer when you arrive, then we’ll go around the brewery, there’ll be more beer, you’ll see how the beer’s made, eat some malt, smell some hops, drink some beer from the Conditioning Tanks (you can’t beat beer from the tanks), learn all about All Gates and beer in general, drink some more beer and then we’ll go back to the bar and drink the All Gates’s beer that’s on tap (that we haven’t already drunk).
Monday to Thursday tours include a traditional Wigan 'Pie & Pea' supper. (A veggie alternative is available). These are served around 9.15pm in our Brewery Tap, the Anvil, two minutes’ walk away. On Friday & Saturday sandwiches are provided in the Brewery. Tours who don’t want supper get an extra 20 minutes or so in the bar."
