Complex aromas of citrusy hops and biscuit malt
Head brewer Stefano Occhi cunningly refers to this fantastic red ale as his ‘Rye PA’. It’s one of the many new beers emerging from this impressive Manchester microbrewery. It’s currently the only brewer in Chorlton, based in the renovated tower of the disused brewery, which once operated behind the Horse and Jockey pub. The pub’s an integral part of the business and the team are active in their local community, and throughout the north of England, pouring beers, sponsoring craft beer festivals and spreading the good word. Urban Fox uses a blend of malts and three hops – Admiral, Cascade and Azacca – to attain its distinctive colour and flavour profile. And, unlike any other urban fox, it makes a very happy marriage with poultry!
