The Brewery Project Wigan

You'll find yourself descending into Arch 4 on Queen Street, where The Brewery Project has set up shop in what feels like the kind of space that's made for drinking good beer without the pretence. The exposed brick and industrial bones of the arch give it character—it's not trying to be something it isn't, which is precisely why it works. There's proper attention paid to what's on tap, and the kind of regulars who actually know their hops from their heads. It's the sort of place where you can have a genuine conversation about beer without anyone getting too precious about it.
