A fitting first post for us here ❤️

Pete Brown @petebrownbeer.bsky.social · Feb 5

Kind of linked ton the Jennings announcement, more green shoots in the post-corporate cask ale landscape. Lovely things are finally happening in Burton on Trent again! @pelliclemag.com sent me to @burtonbridgebrew.bsky.social to take a look and report back the good news.

Look at that beautifully conditioned pint served at The Blue Maid in Borough last night. A very decent £5, @burtonbridgebrew.bsky.social Sunshine Pale. Cheers!

So I made it to @stirchleywines.bsky.social yesterday and they did me proud. I took away a selection from @burtonbridgebrew.bsky.social to sample.

A selection of five beers from Burton Bridge Brewery.

My Elephant bike parked in the shop at Stirchley Wines, with its front carrier loaded with beer.

We've moved on to Hand & Marigold after raiding all the railway arches for a slap up meal later. Burton Bridge ale is a beautiful. No sparklers involved.

Two pints of Burton Bridge ale on the bar with beautiful heads of foam.

Our Sunshine Pale was featured in @thetimes.com today! ☀️

Pete Brown @petebrownbeer.bsky.social · Jun 22

Today in @thetimes.com, it’s hot - time for some good mid-strength beers, instead of beers that have cynically lowered their ABV to take advantage of duty savings and not pass that on to the drinker. These six less alcohol, but no less flavour. www.thetimes.com/life-style/f...

Six of the best mid-strength beers — at 3.4 per cent or less

Tax changes mean that ‘small beer’ is thriving, says Pete Brown. Here are six drinks perfect for a session

Every beer I have from @burtonbridgebrew.bsky.social and @heritagebrewingco.bsky.social leaves me smiling ear to ear, and this is no different. So understated and yet somehow so flavourful and characterful. Condition by @heatonhops.bsky.social

A pint of Heritage brewing company 1909 Manchester bitter that has been served in a branded glass of a brewery that also makes a beer called Manchester Bitter. The condition is incredible and it has a healthy head of foam.

🍻👑 NEW BEERS 🍻👑

We've hooked up this @burtonbridgebrew.bsky.social
Dark Shield, a 5.6% Dark English IPA.

Described by Burton themselves as giving molasses and dark treacle but with none of the roastiness expected from a dark beer, expect this to be rather refreshing!

Sounds good to us 🍻

I know we published that fantastic article from @petebrownbeer.bsky.social about @burtonbridgebrew.bsky.social but basically this its what it’s all about. Festival ale immaculately conditioned. Cask is the pinnacle, my dudes.

My hand hoisting an immaculate pint of festival ale from Burton Bridge brewery in port ST, beer house Manchester. The pint is deepest copper and the head is solid and tight. It’s perfect.

We were inspired by @pelliclemag.com feature on @burtonbridgebrew.bsky.social recently, where its new owners are bringing the heritage of their beer to life again

We didn't hesitate to get some of their beers in, stay tuned for when they're on. There's going to be some bloody good pints!
