1926
Brewed to mark one hundred years of Salford as a city; the name is the year the status was granted, and the label artwork was created with students of the local university. A bright pale ale at 4.2% that pairs classic British brewing character with modern American hops: zesty citrus and light tropical notes over a soft, smooth body, with a subtle piney edge and a crisp, gently bitter finish. Part of each sale goes to a local men's mental health charity. Sold in 330 ml cans.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 1926
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
