***Best before 28th Febuary 2026 but still tastes great!*** The original sweet brown ale. A British classic since 1902. Manns Brown Ale is a historic brew with a legacy stretching back over a century. First brewed in London in 1902, it was created as a sweeter alternative to the heavier stouts and IPAs of the time. Today, it remains Britain’s most popular sweet brown ale—now brewed by Marston’s at Burtonwood—offering a smooth, mellow experience at a modest 2.8% ABV. Tasting Notes Appearance: Deep chestnut brown with a clear pour and a soft tan head. Aroma: Rich caramel, creamy toffee, and hints of roasted malt. Taste: Sweet and biscuity with notes of toffee, light chocolate, and a gentle roasted finish. Mouthfeel: Smooth and lightly carbonated, with a soft texture that complements its sweetness. Why Choose Manns? This ale is ideal for those seeking a low-alcohol option without sacrificing flavour. Its sweet profile makes it a great standalone drink or a traditional mixer with bitter. Whether you're enjoying a quiet evening or looking for a lunchtime pint, Manns Brown Ale delivers classic comfort in every sip. 🔗 Explore all our beers
