What we’re about

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!e

Manchester Pubs and Beer is certainly the group for you if you enjoy trying different beers, ciders and perries, 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 OFFICIAL 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.

OUR BEHAVIOUR

Finally, 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.

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!

Richard

Our historic Derby Hall will be taken over for two days by our beloved Beer Festival as we welcome breweries from across the borough of Bury along with their vast array or artisan and craft beers for you to taste, discuss and enjoy.

These local brewery bars will have a range of cask and keg creations from across the area. We’ll also have a cider bar, a gin bar and some wine tasting. Plus we’ll be finding unique guest beers from across the country for your tastes to savour!

Confirmed as appearing so far are:

Brewsmith Beer – A family-run microbrewery based in Ramsbottom

Brightside Brewing Company – An established brewery based in Radcliffe
