About
In 2009 Blackedge Brewery was founded born of Shaun and Wayne’s passion for good beer. The name is a combination of our respective home villages at the time, Blackrod and Edgworth.

11 years on we have become a well-known award-winning microbrewery at the heart of the small independent brewing community in the North West. We are SIBA FSQ accredited and members of the SIBA Independent Assured Brewer programme which ensures the beers we make are of the highest quality. We take pride in the quality beers we provide.

Cask, shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Coast to Coast Bar. Clingy lacing from a filmy layer, black in the glass. Peaty malts on the nose. Flavoured with liquorice and coffee, a peaty touch towards the ending. Well made stout considering the low abv. (Third day of the festival 24.01.2020).

A pretty good porter, slightly muddled, but the flavors that are there are pretty good. Creamy body served as real cask ale. The Brink Manchester
