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 @ D'Ale House, Rochdale. Not a Schooner, just a half, which is golden with a deep glow and a creamy-smooth head. Looks good, feels good, hoppy base, golden ale style feel to proceedings.

Oldham Beer Festival 2023. Golden in colour. Nice and hoppy, fairly full tasting with its Amarillo inclusion fairly obvious. Has a mid-bitterness at best to finish and some slight maltiness in aroma.
