The mainly Victorian terracotta confection that is Cain's Brewery in Liverpool

There is much detail on view…

….including the original Robert Cain trademark who built the brewery from 1883 to 1902

There is much discussion over whether the trade mark was a goat with two horns….

…or a unicorn with just one

But detail from a poster proves it is a goat. Horns lower down the façade have been lost over the years

Higsons took over in 1923 and went to some trouble to rebadge the brewery to match the original

Someone got a good view across the city

The brewery was completed in 1902…

..and the offices in 1883

Ventilation above the old cooler rooms

Ancient and modern. The brewery is again Cains after Higsons, Boddingtons, GB Breweries and Danish Brewing Group

Imagine a brickie doing this in the 21st century

Higsons name but RC is left below and the creature above does look like a unicorn!

The brewery stack well trussed against the winds that blow off the Mersey. The tower is only accessed by telecomms to service their gear.

Memorabilia and certificates from the Brewing Industry International Awards

Artifacts in the Brewery Tap

Inside the Brewery Tap once called the Grapes

More artefacts in the Tap

Details of the clock in the bar

A modern Huppmann brewhouse dates from the Boddington days in 1982.

The six tonne mashing in vessel with bulk syrup tanks behind

The grains dump tank below the lauter tun

A pair of coppers share a single external wort boiler

The 25hL hop pot used to inject hops into the copper

The outlets to some of the six 54t malt silos

Enclosed fermenters. There are six 440hL shells but two are split into two 220s.

Removing floors has allowed deep conicals to be installed

The conditioning tank stock board

Up in the old cooler room ceiling

Yeast storage with the ale suction vessels on the left

The 150hL per hour SEN horizontal leaf filter

The deaeration column by ETA uses CO² as the stripping gas

Proprietors Ajmail and Sudarghara Dusanj

Brewery Manager David Moore with Quality Manager Dave Edwards and Head Brewer David Nijs

The Danes were planning a hospitality centre and refurbished the glazed patterned tile work

Only the bar and a table remain as there were problems with access and toilet facilities

More ornate tile work

An ancient Avery scale

Most of the old equipment has been stripped out leaving intriguing remains - a heat exchanger bund wall perhaps?

Some unused CVs are still in place

The 88 head filler on the can line

A magazine for can ends

A general view across the can line

Packs going to the palletiser

A pallet of finished goods on the out-feed conveyor
