The Brewery is Nick and Ryan, who started the Gas Lamp bar in Manchester CIty Centre (where you can always find our beers!), Gaz from Marble Brewery and James from Tempest Brewery.
The beer is all stuff we like to drink. Loads of sessionable new world hoppy pales, more traditional stouts and porters. Big Juicy IPAs, and some fun experimental stuff to keep us and you interested.

Keg @ Grayston Unity, Halifax. Golden with a small head. Hoppy and crisp. It has an interesting mix of fruits and a hint coconut flavours from the Sorachi Ace hops, these also give it a grittiness and a mildly dirty taste.

Keg @ Gas Lamp, Manchester. Hazy pale golden with a head. Its strength is not overly evident, but it does give it a heavier texture and subdued taste to its tropical fruits that have a mild dirty-hoppy nose.
