Manchester Bitter

Manchester Bitter — English Bitter — Marble Brewery

Manchester Bitter is the absolute icon of Marble Brewery, the brewery that helped build Manchester's craft beer reputation. It had to be a Bitter: the most British style there is, the beer of the English working class, the one you drink by the pint at the pub after work. Marble reinterprets it in a modern way — perhaps a bit drier than other versions — but smooth and full of flavor as an authentic English Bitter should be. One of those beers to drink at least once in your life.

Sensory Profile

On the nose, it is herbal and earthy, with notes of traditional English hops — Fuggle and Goldings — bringing scents of hay, earth, and a light floral touch. On the palate, it is dry, drier than many classic Bitters, with a clean and well-integrated bitterness that extends into a persistent finish. The body is medium-light, carbonation restrained as the style demands: smooth, easy to drink, full of flavor. Never tiresome.
