Port St Beer House- Collabfest. Manchester Beer Week Midweek Social

A unique opportunity to taste some one-off brews made specially for Beer Week! With our June mid-week social falling during Manchester Beer Week, let's head for the Port Street Beer House to try the results of collaborations between four pairs of brewers.

Events at the Port Street Beer House tend to be popular, so early arrival is advised!

From the Manchester Beer Week website: (http://www.mcrbeerweek.co.uk/)

"Your chance to get first dibs on four collaboration beers being brewed exclusively for Manchester Beer Week.

Four of the best breweries from Manchester are teaming up with four of the biggest names from outside the city to produce some mouthwatering one-offs. The magical pairings are:

Blackjack x Thornbridge Cloudwater x Magic Rock

Quantum x Buxton

Runaway x Hawkshead

Your first chance to try them all - and ask the brewers about their creations - will be at one of the city's best-known watering holes, the inimitable Port Street Beer House.

We've set these talented brewers loose with just one piece of guidance - brew something inspired by Manchester. It might be based on an old Manchester recipe, taste like Vimto or look like water dredged from the Irwell, we don't care as long as it tastes good."

*The Manchester Beer Week logo features a worker bee in the centre. This has been used as a symbol of the city since the Industrial Revolution. It appeared on Boddington's Brewery's logo and bees also feature in the city's coat of arms, along with an antelope and a lion!
