22/11/08 When Moorhouse’s Brewery needed a new lightweight bottle for two of its leading brands, Beatson Clark together with Rawlings & Son of Bristol came up with an elegant 500ml bottle for both Black Cat and Pendle Witches Brew.

Beatson Clark is the UK’s leading manufacturer of low volume speciality glass containers and is renowned for its expertise in the beer sector and has manufactured bottles for a number of top-class breweries, including Moorhouse’s.

Moorhouse’s used a very traditional 500ml amber bottle for these two key national brands in the past, but following a label re-design and a new approach to packaging, Moorhouse’s needed a new supplier who could deliver a lightweight bottle in the quantities they required. The levels of customer service Moorhouse’s demand led them to contact Beatson Clark.

The new embossed bottle will be filled from October 2008 and will start to appear on shelves in time for this Christmas.

The new taller amber bottle has distinct embossing on the shoulder and a familiar crown neck finish. Moorhouse’s have placed an order for an initial 400,000 bottles to get them started.
