A former cuckoo brewery, Stockport Brewing installed its own eight-barrel plant initially under the iconic Stockport Viaduct in 2014.

Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. An attractive glossy mahogany colour with a tawny gleam and a thin cream coloured head; aroma of damp earth, coffee grounds and licorice; quite full bodied with a nutty, earthy, malt taste, and a dry herbal bitterness; then a long lingering licorice finish. A rather good porter.

Gravity cask at the Ale Taster, St Neots. Light golden, hazy with a small ring of white head. Light grapefruit aroma, but there’s a heavy malt hit as well with some lemon peel and ammonia. Taste is more balanced, with the bitterness of the hop into the fore. Bitter/astringent finish with grapefruit and apricot notes in the aftertaste. It’s a bit unwieldy but certainly not bad.

Cask @ Rising Sun, Manchester. Blonde with a creamy head. Has a citrus lemon and grapefruit nose, but is disappointingly bland with its hoppy taste.
