Plans have been unveiled to bring Cains Brewery back to Liverpool as part of deal that could create hundreds of jobs.

Liverpool businessman Andrew Mikhail owns bars and hotels across the region has agreed a deal worth £7m to create a series of venues inside the famous building.

Plans include a craft-brewery with cask and keg beers, an Altrincham-market style venture for artisan food & drink lovers, and a state of the art sky bar.

Mr. Mikhail said the new Cain’s Brewery project will create 200 jobs and will partly model itself on Guinness Brewery in Dublin.

He said: “This is a pivotal moment for our business the CainsBrewery Company."

"Cains Brewery and Liverpool are such iconic brands and Cains of course is part of the city’s heritage."

The plans will be set out in four stages over a three year period.

First will be an artisan food & drink hall and the brewery in phase two, the sky bar in phase three and the hotel in phase four.
