The brewery: "We started trial brewing on a home brewery kit back in early 2009 when the country was in the depths of the recession, which is partly how the name Brightside arose. That and the fact that we also like The Killers!.....These days we’re an established name in Manchester, with a reputation for quality consistency and service. Our beers can be found in many of the free of tie pubs and bars in the city, out towards Crewe and Chester in the South, through the Wirral, and up to Preston in the North (in fact, across much of the UK by way of swapped casks with partner breweries and wholesalers)."
The beer: "B&P Traditional is a traditional light copper coloured bitter, which focuses heavily on a biscuity, roasted malt profile. The hops are on the citrus side, but have been purposley kept subtle to be in keeping with this style of ale; just enough to balance the gentle malt sweetness, and provide a clean finish to the beer."
Yep, nothing fancy but a good honest and tasty bitter. A very enjoyable beer in attractive surroundings with lovely views.
