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 @ The Waterhouse, Manchester. Clear golden with a thickish creamy-frothy head. Has quite a striking bittered-hoppiness, but a decent one.

Clear golden colour with thin soapy head. Described as IPA but is just a moderately hopped pale Bitter. It's ok.

Clear golden colour with thin head. It's malty and sweet. Very slightly bitter. Perhaps something dusty, sulphury in the aroma. (2nd attempt and loads of Diacetyl comes through way too much).

Clear blond colour with lasting fluffy head. Aroma and flavour have a slightly herbal and earthy hop profile. Nice dry, bitter finish.
