Description
Bríd’s Cross Brewing was first dreamt up in the winter of 2021-22. After a year of planning and preparation, our first commercial beer was released in September 2023.
We brew a range of traditional cask ales, as well as modern beer styles in keg and can. Our beers are inspired by, and named after, folk tales and mythology associated with the British Isles.
Moved from Fieldhouse Road, Rochdale to new location is Kansas Avenue, Salford, in 2026, to co-locate / cuckoo at Hideaway Brewing.

Can ordered from Tap Door on-line. Aroma has sweet rye with light resin and berries. Cloudy amber. Foamy off-white head. Initial short caramel and berries intro, which is then swept away by a big wave of resin and rye. Juicy edge. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Red IPA with West Coast characteristics. Yum.

Clitheroe Beer Festival 2024. Only slightly deeper golden ale with some caramels evident, some hoppiness too. Steady and worthwhile.

Oldham Beer Festival 2024. Black in colour. Regular stout, feeling quite easy with its strength but not understated.

Cask @ Fox And Goose, Hebden Bridge. Amber-gold with a creamy head. Not quite feeling its strength, although has a somewhat sugary-hoppy taste. It's soft enough textured to slip down the palate with relative ease. Fruitiest in its nose.

Cask @ Fox And Goose, Hebden Bridge. Hazy amber with a creamy head. Extremely low bitterness bitter, so much so it's quite fruity in both aroma and taste!

Cask @ Flying Horse Hotel, Rochdale. Amber-red with a thick creamy head. Strong with red ale qualities including a smattering of darker malts, but a bigger bitter finish

Keg @ Fox And Goose, Hebden Bridge. Amber-gold with a creamy-frothy head. Feels heavier in the palate than its strength might suggest therefore its decent tropical and stewed mix of fruits are deep tasting. Light bitter finish.
