Description
We are a modern craft brewery and tap room founded in 2014 in Rivington. Focusing on innovative modern styles, while drawing inspiration from the past.

Our inspiration comes from the world over, but our focus is very much local. We concentrate on making the best beer in styles we love, for the people in our local communities. Our passion for the North West is paid back tenfold. We have local landlords who buy whatever we make, no matter the style - from barleywine to grisette - we’re really lucky that so many places support us because they like our beers, and their customers love to try anything local. The people we look up to are all the brewers who are never content with the beers that they’re making - you can always be better.

Manchester Beer Festival 2018. Golden-amber in colour. Hoppy rather than sweet as the name might otherwise suggest. It does have a fruitiness.

Bottle from Barrica Wines, Botany Bay, Chorley. Pours muddy-puddle opaque orange yellow brown, no real head. I mean, I expected that with the name and style, but still, it's an ugly fucker. Green tomato plant stalks and fresh orange peel on the nose. Taste is sweet orange, tropical fruit, green plant stalks. Too fizzy. Not exactly on-trend for me. And even so, why bother?

Keg @ Brink, Manchester. Dark-amber with a small head, and not overly showing its strength. This does subdue its hops and fruitiness in terms of taste. Has a fruity-toffee nose.
