About us
WELCOME TO MANCHESTER PUBS AND BEER
Hello and welcome to the Manchester Pubs and Beer Group!
YOUR GROUP
This is the group for anyone who likes to visit pubs and who appreciates our unique pub heritage. We try to arrange a wide variety of events which don't just concentrate on the popular bars in the obvious areas of town.
Manchester Pubs and Beer is certainly the group for you if you enjoy trying different beers, ciders and perrys, but also if you prefer wine, cocktails, soft drinks or whatever and enjoy trying different pubs and bars in different places.
YOUR EVENTS
Each month we have a FIRST FRIDAY SOCIAL on...the first Friday of the month! We try to have one DAY OUT each month to somewhere within easy travelling distance of Manchester.
We also have other pub crawls, pub quiz visits and of course visits to beer and cider festivals.
YOUR SUGGESTIONS
Members are welcome to suggest and host events. Pop a short note into the Discussions area of the Meetup site.
YOUR FACEBOOK GROUP
We have a companion Manchester Pubs and Beer Facebook group which all are welcome to join, where we can share ideas about events, pub, beer and other related news.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/245317432877212/
There is also a WhatsApp group: ask about this when you attend an event.
BEHAVIOUR STANDARDS
The group is for people who enjoy sensible drinking, enjoy beer and enjoy pubs. There are few rules other than that you are old enough to drink legally, but we expect members to treat each other and the places we visit with respect and courtesy at all times. Abusive behaviour of any type, whether at events, in comments on the site or other social media will not be tolerated. Repeated instances will result in suspension from, or removal from, the group.
As with other Meetup groups, the aim is to bring people together with a common interest. The Meetup group and Meetup itself take no responsibility for members' actions- you participate in events entirely at your own risk!
Do take a look at our forthcoming events and RSVP to any you'd like to come along to. A warm welcome awaits!
Cheers!
