It's a small brewery in Manchester. On the cask side they supply one pub, The Smithfield Market, as far as I know, and have a bar in one of the trendy food halls where they sell a LOT!
Cans and bottles in all the new bottle shops across South Manchester

Should have stuck to keeping a beer list.
Discovered a new pub in town that boasts 8 pumps, all real/craft beers; a fridge full of cans and around 20 ciders.
I'm even testing the stouts.
