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 4/1/2012. Near black in colour with a decent off-white head. Aroma of Black coffee, dark fruit and chocolate. Flavour had more fruit and chocolate, with a whiff of smoke and dryish finish. Good drinking.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 4/1/2012. Clear amber in colour with a decent white head. Aroma of nutty malts, hedgerow fruit and a touch of leafy hop. Flavour of cereal malts and berry fruits, with a hint of citrus and good, bitter finish. Enjoyable.
