BURNLEY brewer Moorhouse’s has rolled out a new festive brew called Lap Prancer.

Replacing Santa’s Piste, the acclaimed Burnley brewer’s previous Christmas special, Lap Prancer provides a ‘spicy/floral aroma.’ Moorhouse’s managing director David Grant said: “Santa’s Piste was very popular for several years but we decided to ring the changes with this new brew to add a little more to the seasonal fun.

“Our brewers have come up with a very flavoursome rich and satisfying brew which, with its humorous branding, we think we will well suit the festivities.”

He said that the company was again anticipating record breaking sales of its five core famous Pendle Witch brands over the Christmas and New Year period.

Recently work has begun on a new £3.5m brewery complex at the company's Manchester Road headquarters.
