4% Bitter
A cask conditioned bitter boasting a distinctive golden colour brewed under licence by J.W. Lees. It pours with a luscious creamy head and offers a malty, moreish character with hints of caramel and toffee. The bitterness is gentle, balanced by a smooth body and finishes crisp and refreshing.

4.5% Brown
Breweries often used to hold back their extra special bitter for the Directors or Chairman, but we think everyone should enjoy the very best. Named in honour of John Lees, it's a colourful, well-balanced and full-bodied premium bitter, with a nutty finish. Our recipe makes use of ale and crystal malt, and Pilgrim and Golding hops. The result is a beer with nothing held back, fit for the good man himself.

4.7% Lager
More than a few craft lagers are named after the cities that created them, so we've added Manchester to that list using almost two centuries' worth of expertise on craft ale. We brew Manchester Craft Lager in small batches, giving it longer maturation to create a stronger, more flavoured lager that takes things up a notch or two.
