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).

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).

Cask at Calverts Court, Stockport. Pours golden yellow with a small off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is basically floral hops, and these are to the fore in the mouth as well. There’s plenty of citrus, oranges and melon plus hints of grapefruit. Gets more bitter as it goes on, leading to a somewhat dry finish. Its reasonable.
