FAMED East Lancs ales are set to be a hit Stateside.

Burnley's Moorhouse Brewery is to push its Black Cat and Pendle Witch beers in a robust US sales campaign to coincide with Hallowe'en.

General manager David Grant has recently been over to the US on a two-week market research visit.

He said the visit helped him have a clearer understanding of the US market and the needs and requirements of distributors, wholesalers, agents and retailers which he hopes will enhance sales of the companies products.
