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-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.

Gravity dispense at the Mulberry Tree, Twickenham, 06/11/15. Clear golden copper with a decent beige covering that retains well. Nose is a touch thin, light floral notes, bready, orange, caramel. Taste comprises caramel malt, sweet tunes, toasted sugars, candy floss. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Sweet and unbalanced ... just about drinkable but not great.

New brewery tick down me local. Super soft malt backbone. Pretty thin but incredibly drinkable. Good effort
