More About Marble Black Rye Bitter

Brewed in collaboration with Howard Crook winner of the 2026 Stockport Beer & Cider Festival Homebrew Competition (speciality category). This beer blends spicy notes from the rye malt with a robust black bitter base, a sprinkle of Mosaic hops giving hints of pine, and earthen spices.

Meet the Producer, Marble Brewery

Marble Brewery

Style: Brewery

Manchester has always had a strong pub culture, but Marble were one of the breweries that helped drag the city properly into the modern craft beer era while still respecting cask ale traditions underneath.

Founded in 1997 above the Marble Arch pub in Ancoats, the brewery became hugely influential in early UK craft beer through beers like Pint and Lagonda long before hazy IPA fully took over the world. There was always a focus on balance and drinkability here rather than pure gimmick brewing.

The beers themselves still lean thoughtful and well structured. Pale ales and IPAs carry plenty of hop character without losing bitterness entirely, while stouts and porters tend to keep proper roast and dryness underneath the richness. Marble also remained committed to cask beer at a time when plenty of breweries treated it like an inconvenient older relative.

Manchester suits the brewery perfectly. Slightly independent-minded, slightly scruffy around the edges and deeply committed to pubs as actual social spaces rather than purely drinking venues. Marble’s pubs especially helped shape that atmosphere. Good beer, tiled walls and conversations gradually becoming louder over several pints.

There’s also something satisfying about breweries that influenced modern craft beer without completely disappearing into hype culture afterwards. Marble always felt more interested in brewing good beer than chasing trends online.
