Brewery

The immodestly named Brewery in Bury, Greater Manchester, was launched only in 2008, although the involvement of one of Britain’s leading suppliers of microbrewing kit, David Porter, shows an experienced hand. With the help of collaborators Paul Sandiford and Glen Woodcock, he’s developed a wide and imaginative range of beers, from smoked ales to Californian-style extreme hop brews. The brewery sent me a generous selection, but the one I enjoyed most was a simple classic bitter, OSB.

This is a copper-brown coloured ale with a declining bubbly light beige head. A resiny hopsack aroma has notes of and ripe autumn fruit, and the palate is also very fruity and biscuity, with a definite though not overpowering hop bite, notes of washing up liquid and peach syrup. A long and lightly roasty finish has rooty well-balanced hops and a touch of chocolate.
