Hopwoods Tap House opened on 5th March 2022 and is a brand new ale house located on the corner of Avenham Street and Church Street in the historic premises of W.H & J. Woods' Tobacconist, from which its name is derived. The building dates back to the 1800s and reference to the original business can still be seen on the Avenham Street elevation. It offers the largest selection of craft beers on tap anywhere in Lancashire, with thirty craft ales and lagers from around the world available. The four handpumps offer three changing cask ales plus a still cider. This is a premium venue open seven days a week and caters for a wide range of clientele. With a cask ale club during the week and an additional discount for CAMRA members this venue offers great value for real ale drinkers.
