Seven Bro7hers has released a limited-edition ‘Peanut Butter on a Jaffa Cake Stout’ as part of its upcoming birthday celebrations.
The Salford brewery is launching a new line of special craft beers – with each can exploring the interests, personalities, and quirks of the seven founding brothers.
The Peanut Butter and Jaffa Cake can will mark the first beer in the ‘7 Series’ – a nuttily sweet stout inspired by co-founder Kit McAvoy’s favourite childhood snack.
Whilst the beer is rich in peanut flavour it contains no nuts (meaning it’s still suitable for those with peanut allergies); with a combination of hops and malts bringing out the nutty, zesty flavours.
The stout is 7% ABV and available in a 440ml can from the Seven Bro7hers brewery web shop for a fiver.
Speaking about his stout, Director and Export Manager, Kit said: “It has been really fun taking well-known beers and flavours back to the drawing board and getting inventive with the brewing team. We are enormously proud of the last seven years and we hope people join us in celebrating this landmark.
“Have you ever had peanut butter on a Jaffa Cake? All I can say is, thank me later!”
Founded in 2014 by McAvoy brothers Guy, Keith, Luke, Daniel, Nathan, Kit, and Greg, Seven Bro7hers opened their first beer house in Cutting Room Square in Ancoats in 2016, with a second site in Middlewood Locks welcoming its first customers back in December 2019.
The brand has also unveiled plans for a pop-up bar & kitchen in the heart of MediaCityUK – along with more beer houses across the north in Leeds and Liverpool.
A Seven Bro7hers bar is also being installed in Manchester Airport’s £1 billion Terminal 2 as part of a lucrative 10-year deal – with the travel hub expected to open to the public in 2021.
The brewery’s most recent creation is a special beer called ‘Roadrunner‘ – launched alongside rugby league legend Rob Burrow who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2019. 60% of the proceeds from the beer will go towards the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) – helping to fund essential research in a bid to find a cure.
Co-founder Nathan said: “To us, Rob is one in seven million – an amazing player and family man, doing a fantastic job to raise awareness in the fight against this awful disease [and] it has been an honour to collaborate with Rob to bring to life his sporting legacy on the can.”
All Seven Bro7her beers are available to buy online.

Prestwich wine bar Chin Chin now serves roast dinner sandwiches
Daisy Jackson
A new (ish) wine bar in Prestwich has launched one of the city’s coolest Sunday offerings – roast dinner sandwiches, with a side of jazz.
If I’ve said it once I’ve said it 1000 times – Elnecot is up there as one of Manchester’s best Sunday roasts, with Yorkshire puddings you could fit a jug of gravy inside, blushing slices of roast beef, and generous portions that put you in the sort of food coma you should be in on a Sunday afternoon.
So when Roast Master (okay fine, his official job title is chef/owner) Michael Clay said that his sister venue Chin Chin was launching a Sunday offering, I was there with my nose pressed up at the window. I’m ready, Michael.
Sunday Sessions at Chin Chin, right in the heart of Prestwich village, brings that incredible roast beef and roast potatoes into a more casual format.
You can tuck into roast meat butties, roast potatoes loaded with cheese and gravy, and ice cream sundaes, all while perusing a well-thought-out wine list that’s written up by hand every time new bottles come in.
Oh, and did we mention there are £4 pints all day on Sunday – and that includes Guinness?
On the side of just about everything on the menu, you’re presented with a little bowl of extra gravy (how delightfully Northern) for dipping and dunking.

Our top pick would be the roast beef sandwich, served between ciabatta rolls and laced with mustard mayo and caramelised onions.
But the cheese toastie is worth a visit too – a hefty helping of Lancashire cheese and charred spring onions, with a ‘secret sauce’ on the side.
Coming soon will be a new menu item, a Bifana sandwich. If you’ve trudged the streets of Portugal you’ll have come across these – thin slices of pork marinated in white wine and garlic, piled into bread with a punchy mustard. Chin Chin’s are excellent.
And for afters, because there is always room for dessert, it’s a lovely ice cream sundae topped with miso caramel and a showering of pistachios.
The whole time you’ll be eating with a soundtrack of jazz, played through the wine bar’s vinyl record system and Michael’s own personal collection of vinyls.
Chin Chin is open now on Bury New Road, with food on Sundays served between 12pm and 6pm.
