Description
WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS
We started trial brewing on a home brew kit back in early 2009 when the country was in the depths of the recession, which is partly how the name Brightside arose. That and the fact that we also like The Killers!
These days we’re an established name in Manchester, with a reputation for quality consistency and service. Our beers can be found in many of the free of tie pubs and bars in the city, out towards Crewe and Chester in the South, through the Wirral, and up to Preston in the North (in fact, across much of the UK by way of swapped casks with partner breweries and wholesalers).

Cask (Peveril of the Peak, Manchester) - Light amberin colour. Peach, apricot and hints of syrup in the aroma. Peach also features in the taste along with some honey and citrus. Easy to drink but nothing remarkable.

Cask @ The Pub, Todmorden. Golden with a frothy head. It has a very easy texture with a light but stated enough tropical fruitiness that does linger.

Pours a clear golden colour with a small thin white head that quickly settled to a thin film. Aroma is predominately light malt with a touch of grapefruit. Moderately sweet and salty, light malt and grassy hop bitterness in the finish.
