The Mancunian is a blonde - IPA hybrid, drawing on the best of both styles to create a real crowd-pleasing beer. Amber and Crystal malts included in the purposefully delicately flavoured malt bill give a blonde with more depth, onto which we layer full flavoured Cascade, Columbus, Citra and Comet hops.

One of our longest serving beers, Maverick IPA is American in style and multi-national in hop content (mostly US with a touch of NZ)! Lightly caramelized malts provide the central core, but the American Cascade is the main attraction bringing bold grapefruit and floral aromas to the beer, which finishes with a clean, refreshing bitterness.

Popular hops are in short supply, which has made us seek out new and interesting, experimental and lesser known varieties to brew with. Pale ale, caramel malts and wheat produce a light amber colour and complex malt profile to compliment a single Australian hop.

Those of you that have been with us for a while may remember that 10 years ago back in 2013 when we were super young, we won the SIBA NW Overall Beer of the Festival with our single hopped Amarillo IPA. It's had a very long break - last brewed mid-2019, so we thought it was time to bring it back. This American style IPA is brewed with a broad blend of malts to create a complex base on top of which we showcase a single hop variety. It's a light amber coloured beer which is liberally hopped & dry hopped without being overwhelmingly bitter. Read Less

We make our lager using the classic European noble hops Hallertauer and Saaz which are synonymous with the traditional European style. The beer is straw coloured with very mild bitterness, has a clean and fresh taste, and shows delicate hop aromas and flavours. It’s understated and refined rather than flashy, and so is ideal to go with all styles of food. Read Less

This mid-amber coloured bitter is brewed using hops from our continental cousins to give it a slightly more modern feel. American Willamette and Slovenian Bobek are genetically related to Fuggles, but have a more pronounced character, showing subtle fruit and citrus flavours as well as the usual earthy and spicy notes you'd expect in a bitter.

The goddess of all good stuff and counterpart in the afterlife to Odin in the Norse pantheon. Freyja seemed like the perfect name for the newest incarnation of our best-selling blonde. Using Odin as a base, we've stepped it up by heavily dry hopped in the FV with Amarillo and Citra pellets (the same hops used in the boil) to super enchance what you already about the beer.

One batch is brewed every year during April and May to coincide with CAMRA’s mild in May/ Manchester Mild Magic.

This year we’ve decided to make a super-strong mild to really accentuate the full flavour from the dark malts, and we’ve dabbled with some New World hops too.

American Brown Ale is their version of our traditional Best Bitter, being just a touch more bitter on the finish thanks to the use of US grown hops; in this case Cascade. Roast barley, Crystal Medium & Dark, plus Munich are among the malts which give this beer its deep roasted malt flavours, burnt caramel and gentle malt sweetness, and of course its rich colour. It's pleasantly refreshing with well integrated hop flavours. Read Less

Keller (pronounced Keh-luh) is German for cellar and is our a nod to when German lagers were stored (lagered) underground in ice-filled rooms to allow for low temperature, slow maturation. Keller is deliciously crisp and refreshing; a classic Helles brewed with Hallertauer Mittelfruh & Blanc hops with mild hop flavours and low bitterness which make it deliciously thirst quenching.
