Priest Town Brewing Expands at Preston Markets

02 June 2020

Priest Town Brewing has expanded to a larger stall in the Box Market at Preston Markets.

Opening their new larger unit on 2 June 2020, just two doors down from their original plot, allows them to stock a larger range of beers available for take away.

Priest Town Brewing is a craft beer brewery situated in the heart of Preston, they began selling their stock from the Box Market in 2018. Alongside their own craft beer, they stock a range of other locally crafted independent beers and gins.

Councillor Matthew Brown, Leader of Preston City Council said:

Congratulations to Priest Town Brewing on their expansion, it is great to see a local business thriving at this difficult time.

As always I encourage everyone in Preston to continue to shop local and support our independent businesses, especially as the lock down eases as they are essential for the fabric of our community.

While shopping in Preston as the high street begins to reopen, ensure you are adhering to the social distancing measures in place for everyone's safety.

Ian, Owner of Priest Town Brewing said:

I am delighted that Priest Town Brewing is expanding at Preston Markets. Over the past two years we have built up a loyal customer base, which has allowed us to move to a larger unit and expand the range of beers we have on offer.

I would like to thank Preston City Council and all our customers who have continued to support us during this difficult time and look forward to welcoming everyone to our new space.
