Covid-19 restrictions. Tinhead Brewery was set up on the Bradley Fold Industrial Estate, between Bolton and Bury, almost four years ago by Neil Walton and his dad Nick.
Just under two years ago, they opened up a taproom which became a popular bar for craft beer lovers in the area to come and try new drinks or have a chat.
Several of Nick and Neil's family members also help out working in the taproom, serving customers.Earlier this week, the government imposed additional restrictions on the hospitality industry, meaning that staff and customers in pubs now have to wear a mask unless they are sat at a table.
