  • This week we visit a Manchester craft brewery that has quietly become one of the best breweries in the UK by focusing on making you want to neck a pint of whatever it is they brew, whether it's a cask of Sonoma or an 8% Lactose IPA. Seriously. A Lactose IPA. Yep.

    I stop in Track fairly often, it's pretty much a must visit when on the beer in Manchester especially given their neighbours. Staff are really good too, funnily enough the lad on the bar with the curly hair is synonymous with Track for me, he must work some hours, was thinking what a glaring omission in the video and then he popped up at 21 mins haha!

    Love Track, I feel very privileged to live so close to them and Cloudwater. It's great to see them getting their due. And yes, Sonoma is a minor miracle of a beer.
    Also, sparklers rule.

    West Coast Fest was also great this week. Amazing to be somewhere with a line-up of westies! I also had a nice chat with Brad and grabbed myself one of the black CBC T-shirts. Thanks guys.

    As a rule I don’t like Milkshake IPA’s as I find them too sickly, however the gold top range from Track does this style brilliantly imo and it’s just a nice creamy DIPA. My favourite range of beers.

    Would love to try one of the Gold Top beers…but what did he mean when he said said ‘Lactose is packed with protein’. Lactose is a sugar!
    Did he just mean the malts that they use are high in protein or are they getting the lactose from an ingredient that also contains protein??

      It is strange, especially since it's more work. Perhaps because it doesn't keep so long once tapped?

    • @davidflett2723
      @davidflett2723 2 года назад

      Cask drinkers look at keg prices and say "don't be daft!" Sad to say it seems keg drinkers are mugs and will pay whatever price is charged. Same as charging more for lager than ale. They charge it as they can get away with it.

    • @TheCraftBeerChannel
      @TheCraftBeerChannel  2 года назад +5

      This is an old cliche and misunderstanding. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the tap touching the beer. It's done with most Cask Ale, properly poured lager and anything from a side pull tap. It allows the bartender to pour the beer without exposing it to oxygen so is in fact preferable. The taps in good bars are always spotless.
