Small-batch experimental brews
In a quiet corner of our brewery yard, up a small, clanky metal staircase, is an unassuming green door. Behind it once stood the boiler, now redundant and removed, the steam ceased to billow above the old boiler house. Until now. With the void created by the removal of the boiler tank, we gained space for a different kind of tank and, above all, a space to think. A thirst for experimentation is part of our DNA: lagers in the 50s, Moonraker in the 60s, Harvest Ale in the 80s, and any number of seasonal ales and collaborations more recently. Today, behind that small green door is where we brew our small batch beers. It’s a place to foster that spirit of innovation and to explore distinctive, challenging new beers—brewing them with integrity in just the right amounts. We’re on a mission to experiment with new styles and varieties of beers, but with nearly 200 years of brewing history behind us. This is the next chapter of Greengate Brewery’s story. And when we talk of this initiative, this innovation, it will simply be known as The Boilerhouse.

CYCLE 3 AVAILABLE NOW
The third cycle of our 2026 Boilerhouse beers is coming home ⚽
There are three new beers to get stuck into, including Route 66, a bright and refreshing American session pale. Brewed to celebrate the beautiful game and the route first travelled in 66.
Good Omens, a clean and refreshing elderflower lager. Bright, balanced and brewed with lighter days in mind.
We’ve also partnered with our friends and fellow Manchester brewers Cloudwater to bring you Cool Karma, a double dry-hopped IPA, bursting with bright citrus and stone fruits.
