10 Best Breweries in Lower Peover

"Unusually colourful (its orange banquettes and Perspex back-bar give it a look of a 1980s Top of the Pops set), this Dale Street tap-house serves a mix of quality guest beers (Wild Beer, Mikeller, Burning Sky), and Beatnikz’ hop-forward brews, such as I Smash Citra and Generation IPA. The weekday cask ale deals are notable (recently pie ‘n’ a pint £5, Mon/Tues), as is Beatnikz’s ability to bag high-profile guests for its meet-the-brewer events. For instance Arbor Ales and US star Modern Times. Pint from £3.70, beatnikzrepublic.com"

"Beatnikz microbrewery is located in a railway arch in the Green Quarter, and their taproom used to be too. But they closed it last year and moved to a shiny new bar in the Northern Quarter where they’ve just introduced a beer slushie machine. Head in to enjoy their core range of beers."

"Buxton Brewery’s beginnings can be traced back to 2009 where in a small, cold, garage, a micro-brew was created – nine years on, they’ve gone from strength to strength, and now make upwards of 30 distinct brews!. A few highlights from their core range include Buxton Spa, Extra Stout and Axe Edge."

"About: Cute, kitsch and cosy - Hey Little Cupcake is a super-sweet cupcakery and tea room serving Manchester's finest selection of freshly baked Cupcakes, Cakepops and Brownies. Treats can either be ordered to take-away or enjoyed in the cafe's cosy in or outdoor seating areas. The mini bite-sized cupcakes are perfect for a spontaneous treat."

"This week we launch the Easter Collection… here’s a sneak peak of what’s to come. #HeyLittleCupcake#Easter#Cupcakepic.twitter.com/YS1ZL46gEi. — Hey Little Cupcake!"

"As the name suggests, their small cupcakes are really delicious. Like New York’s famous cupcakes. They create a work of art."

"About: Patisserie Valerie in Deansgate is a haven of self-indulgence. This luxurious, continental-style patisserie and café is famed for delicious handmade cakes and pastries. Under the counter you'll discover a mouth-watering array of sugary treats such as tarts, macaroons and gateauxs."

"I wouldn’t normally have chosen this flavour, but on a hot day they only had three to choose from. Had a changing flavour – hints of coffee, cream and caramel with little bits of caramel which gave a nice texture change."

"The Ale Inventory at The Botanist MediaCityUK features Munich Gold, Daura Damm, Asahi Super Dry, Hells Lager and Alhambra Reserva 1925. And on the cocktail menu, you'll find a range of inventive cocktails inspired by British flavours. Drinks include English Mojito made from Bombay Dry Gin, apple liqueur, vanilla syrup, cucumber and fresh mint with apple and lime juices; Smoked Birch Old Fashioned made from Money shoulder whisky, Freya Birch spirit, fir tree liqueur, orange bitters and demerara sugar; and Poppy and Pomegranate Martini consisting of Ciroc red berry vodka, poppy and raspberry liqueur, basil syrup, pomegranata and lemon juice."
