Manchester Craft Lager

Continental style, crafted in Manchester

JW Lees Manchester Craft Lager is a golden continental-style lager with refreshing citrus and tropical notes. Its extended maturation creates a stronger, more flavoursome beer with a blend of crispness and depth. Using only the best Czech and Slovenian hops to create a fresh citrusy finish with a refreshingly crisp bite.

THE STORY OF CRAFT

Only a few craft lagers are named after the cities that created them, we’ve added Manchester to that list. Using almost two centuries’ worth of expertise on traditional, hands-on, brewing techniques, we are Manchester’s oldest craft brewer.

Manchester Craft Lager is brewed in small batches, giving it longer maturation to create a stronger, flavoursome lager that takes things up a notch or two. We use the best European Czech and Slovenian hops, breathing continental life in to our Manchester lager.

Crafted in Manchester, brewed for a continental crispness, but it’s still proudly Mancunian; the taste of Munich, brewed in Middleton.
