The brand called ‘Liverpool in a pint’ will be making a return to pubs this year.
Liverpool's most iconic brewery Cains is coming back to Liverpool nearly ten years after it was closed down in 2013. A new facility will open on the site of the Baltic Triangle where Cains brewery was first launched by Robert Cain in 1858.
The multi-million-pound investment will see the new facility spread across three floors of the original building and will create 40 jobs.

Cains brewery has gone through many owners since its inception and this is not the first time that it has been brought back The brand was bought by brothers Sudarghara and Ajmail Dusanj in 2002 however it crashed into administration in 2008. Brewing eventually came to a halt in 2013 and has lain dormant ever since.
In 2018 entrepreneur Andrew Mikhail acquired the Cains name. Andrew will now bring the brand back and plans to brew the beer where the journey first started over 160 years ago.
Andrew said: “Cains beer is synonymous with Liverpool, I love the Cains brand. The beer they call ‘Liverpool in a pint’ has been missed by many since it disappeared from bars almost 10 years ago.
"I feel incredibly proud to be bringing this iconic brew back to life and I’m sure that there are many real ale fans looking forward to enjoying that first pint of Cains. It's is a resilient brand, just like Liverpool and we’re really excited to be bringing Cains Brewery back to life, albeit with a new direction that will bring national attention to Liverpool for all the right reasons.”
Andrew Hayes, Cains’ General Manager, and Head Brewer said: "Watching the tanks being delivered this week makes it all so real. I, like so many others, can’t wait for the first taste of this famous Liverpool brew.
"The city has been missing a signature beer since the closure of Cains and I’m very excited to bring it back."
When asked whether the Cains Raisin Beer would also be making a comeback, brewer Hayes stated: "The Raisin Beer was one of the best-loved beers Cains ever produced - and will be one of the first beers to come out of the Brewery when it returns this year. We are excited to bring the original recipe back to life for all to enjoy."
Brewery Tours are set to be available once the venue opens its door this spring. We will also see the brew available at other well-known Mikhail Group venues throughout the North-West including Doctor Duncan’s, The Brewery Tap, and Punch Tarmey’s.
