– Port Street Pop Ups present Fish& / Thursday 4th April 2013 – 5pm
Fish& are bringing their unique sustainable seafood streetfood kitchen to Port Street Beer House on Thursday April 4th for the first in a series of regular pop ups, this particular one is part of our Festival of Britain(s Beers).
Forging a reputation for their twisted Fish& chips, flavours like lemon, lime& chilli, sea salt & cracked black pepper and massala spiced batters, Fish& have taken this classic part of British food and cultural heritage and given it the kick up the arse it needs to bring it into the 21st century.
There is also talk of a special PSBH Festival batter using one of the festival beers, if thats not enough there’s also talk of some very new ‘beach burgers’ appearing on the menu . . . . .
Described by on reviewer as “like a bizarre dream, restaurant quality food from a beach hut set up on a pedestrian precinct in the middle of this northern city!”

– Toccalmatto’s ‘One Shot series’
If you think Italian beer is all mainstream tasteless lager we already have the means to prove you wrong, but if there are still any waverers we’ve decided to make it 100% clear that the Italian craft beer scene is shit hot. In order to aid us in really getting this message to hit home the fantastic brewery Birra Toccalmatto, creator of the divine Zona Cesarini, which faithful regulars will already be aware of and revere, is bringing joy to the lives of many with a wonderful year of brilliant beer.
For the next twelve months we will be getting two different Toccalmatto beers a month, one of which will be from the standard range and as Zona fans will tell you this in itself is pretty exciting stuff, the first from this range will be the ‘B Space Invader’ a black IPA made with galaxy hops-needless to say the staff here are all pretty darn excited. As if that wasn’t enough the second beer will be an unknown entity of excellence from Toccalmatto’s One Shot series, these aren’t beers that will be made twice people, these are the beers that bloody brilliant brewers fancy making because they can! Just to clarify: these guys are not afraid to make big flavours, try new stuff or hop the hell out of something.
We assume you will enjoy, no worries, you’re welcome.
– Festival Of Britain(s Beers) 2013 / Monday 25th March – Sunday 7th April
It’s that time of year again, we’re celebrating the beers of Britain by trying to make as many of the best available for two whole weeks. That means tap take over, it will encompass old favourites, new specials, new breweries and general goodness for the drinking all sourced from British breweries.
The two weeks will kick of with the much anticipated Meet The Brewer with Jeff Rosenmeier from Lovibonds on March 25th, throughout the festival we will have ‘specials’ and new beers from Thornbridge, Darkstar, Red Willow, Quantum, Summerwine, Roosters, Kernel, Brodies, Harbour and many others. We’ll also be giving people the opportunity to sample the beers from Berkshire’s newest addition to the brewing community, Siren Craft Brew.
If you have any suggestions or requests let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate them or just come in and enjoy the selection we’ve put together, which is none too shabby if we do say so ourselves!
– Meet The Brewer with Jeff Rosenmeier (Lovibonds) / Monday 25th March
5.30pm – 8pm (event starts at 6.15pm prompt)
£8 advance / available from the bar or 0161 237 9949
Lovibonds Brewery started when Jeff Rosenmeier conned Customs and Excise into giving him a Beer Duty Certificate for his 100 litre overgrown home brewery. Lovibonds was one of the first of the new wave of British craft breweries to only keg their beer in defiance of traditionalists. Lovibonds beers range from the ever approachable to the turn your face inside out sour and points in between.
