Bootleg Brewing co - our microbrewery started brewing its first ale in 2010. Currently the only brewery in Chorlton, it was converted from the shell of the tower where the old disused brewery once stood.* From it's first brew it took only a month for the brewery to produce its first award winning ale - Contraband. The amber ale was prized by the Bury Beer Festival as the Silver in the Beer of The Festival category in November 2010. As strong supporters of real ale and knowing from our own experience how important it is to keep the craft alive we sponsor several festivals throughout the year. These include Stockport Beer Festival and our very own summer Chorlton Beer Festival. We've specially crafted a new range of craft beers for 2015 and these include: Urban Fox, Speak Easy, Fool's Gold, Contraband, Spun Gold, Back Street, Twisted Groove, Racketeer, Lawless, Chorlton Pale Ale and Black Market. Each has a unique taste that is perfect for either all year or seasonal drinking respectively. We are lucky enough to have Erin Guy as our Head Brewer, one of just a handful of female brewers in the country.
