Clitheroe-based brewery, Bowland Brewery, has reported a 21.5% rise in turnover to hit a
record £1.7m for FY 2021/22 against pre-COVID year FY 2018/19, while profits more than
doubled with a 109.5% increase to £229,000.
The family-run brewer of premium cask ales has sold over 1.1m pints of cask, 400,000
bottles and directly supplies pubs, hotels and bars across the North of England since 1983
with national distribution via Coors.
Bowland Brewery is owned by Andrew & James Warburton who took over the brewery in
2014. Since then, the brewery has expanded its core range of ales and added a Pilsner to its
range in 2020. During the past financial year, Bowland Brewery has expanded its offering
into gin and has begun distilling its first London Dry, Bowland No.1, which was launched
earlier this month.
Warren Bennett, Managing Director of Bowland Brewery commented:
“Despite the challenges we faced as we began to operate in a post-pandemic climate in
2021, we have remained in a strong position and as a result have ended the year with some
fantastic results. Our team are at the forefront of this success, navigating a trading
environment that we could never have anticipated.”
“Not only that but I would like to thank all our trade customers for their support over the last
few years. The hospitality sector has suffered immensely since March 2020, and we are
grateful for all the support we have received from both trade and non-trade customers who
have helped us not only return to sustainable business levels but achieve such outstanding
results.”
