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).

Oldham Beer Festival 2015. Golden with a small head. Hopped with a floral bitterness. There’s also a sugary aroma and taste with malts in its nose too. Tried a keg version of this in 2019 at The Brink that was better than the beer festival version from four years previous.

Cask at The Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. Pale amber with a thin white head that laces the glass; grainy aroma; oily texture and amedium body with a sweet grainy taste, and a grassy bitterness. Satisfying but unexciting.
