Their first golden ale, which was their best seller for almost 18 years, only recently overtaken by the lighter Ullswater blonde. A real crowd pleaser with a good burst of English Goldings for a pleasant hoppy finish.
"This wonderfully refreshing pale session beer showcasing the marvellous Mosaic hops from America. Bursting with tropical fruit flavours and a pleasant citrus bitterness. Just in case there wasn’t enough in the initial brew, we have dry hopped with even more Mosaic for good measure! Bronze medal winner at the Drinks Business Global Beer Competition 2018"

MORE OF THE DARK STUFF!
Hearty comfort foods and cosy fires with dark beers to match are what we most look forward to as the temperature drops, so here’s a beer to fit that picture.
This one is a sturdy porter, brewed with a typically robust malt bill and balanced with Simcoe hops to create a nuanced, subtle hop character. You can expect smoky coffee aromatics, and dark fruit with a hint of licorice on the palate, and a touch of sweetness on the malty finish.
A SUPER FRUITY AUSSIE CORKER!
Sometimes it’s good to be able to taste one hop in isolation in order to be able to really appreciate it.
In this delicious single hop IPA we showcase the best of the Topaz hop flavour profile. Fresh resinous aromatics, juicy fruit and a thirst quenching citrusy bitterness matched with a rich malty base really hit the spot. Over the years we’ve brewed various single hop IPAs using the same recipe, only ever changing the hop: Topaz is the one which has stood the test of time.
The hop level in Maverick IPA is a little more trad than in our canned IPAs, being nicely balanced and integrated within the beer.
Lightly caramelized malts provide the central core, but the American Cascade is still the main attraction bringing grapefruit and floral aromas to the beer, which finishes with a clean, refreshing bitterness.
A DELICIOUSLY FRUITY GOLDEN ALE.
The idea behind this beer is that the flavours in the beer match the colours in the sky: Imagine a broad coastal sunset, with glorious deep orange and peach colours, and translate that onto your tongue!
The malt bill for this beer is moderate to support the Amarillo and Citra hops, without being overpowering. Expect delicious ripe Seville orange marmalade, and zingy pink grapefruit flavours, with fleshy soft fruit in the background to balance out the citrus.
Fun fact, umbra is the area of total shadow caused by the moon blocking out the sun’s light during a total eclipse; quite an apt name for a dark mild we thought!
This dark mild is true to type, being moderate in most aspects of its character. You’ll find it’s an easy drinking, medium bodied beer, with a subtle influence from hops and toasty, grainy malt flavours. It finishes clean, with gentle bitterness; enough to balance the delicately sweet malts, but far from being heavy handed.
Brightside's best-selling beer in both cask and bottle, Odin is a refreshing light-bodied pale blonde ale brewed with highly sought-after Citra, Amarillo and Summit hops.
A great session ale that shows fruity, citrus flavours and has a moderately bitter finish.
CHUCK IS A NAME WHICH SOUNDS JUST AS MUCH AT HOME BEING USED ON BURY MARKET OR A TEXAN RANCH!
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.
This Blueberry Garden cider is a satisfyingly tangy mix of real Blueberry juice and their Original Garden Cider. A favourite of the Native Americans, Blueberries were used for cough syrup and the leaves in tea!
