Brewery Background/
Awards

Bazens’ Brewery was set up in Salford in July 2002 by award-winning brewer Richard Bazen and his wife Jude (hence Bazens’ and not Bazen’s!).

Before setting up Bazens’, Richard spent two years as Head Brewer at Phoenix, Heywood and before that was Brewer for Bridgewater Ales in Salford, and Holt, Plant and Deakin in the West Midlands.
