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 at the Magpie and Crown, Brentford on 12th February 2016. Amber with thin off white ring-and-film giving scant lacing. Sweet caramel malt and remote grass in aroma. Sweet fruitiness in-mouth with herbiness - bay leaf. A bitter finish. Light mouthfeel and body. Improves down the glass.

Manchester Beer & Cider Festival 2016. Light golden coloured ale. Hoppy with light fruits, but more of a bitterness.

Manchester Beer & Cider Festival 2016. Golden coloured ale. You expect more from the name, however it’s just a standard bitter with a low to medium bitterness. Malty in its nose.

Golden colour. Aroma has some farmyardesque manure notes amongst the malts. Taste is similar. Strange.

Cask @ Molly House, Manchester. Golden with a small creamy head. Light easy-drinking session bitter with inoffensive malts and a low to medium bitterness.

Handpull cask at the Harlequin, Kelham Island. Golden, slightly hay. Light layer of loose white head. Some citrus in the aroma but it’s surprisingly malty. Taste is less engaging: somewhat salty and soapy at first with. Short hoppy bitter finish. OK.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol, 3/11/2015. Deep gold in colour, with a decent, off-white, head. Sweetish orange and caramel, digestive malts and a moderately bitter finish. Ok.
