– Festival of Britain(s Beers) / Your opinion
The Festival of Britain(s Beers) has seen such a wonderful week and a half of tasty beers, we only have a few days remaining.
So now is you chance to pay us a visit and more importantly we would like to know YOUR favourite beer from the past couple of weeks. Let us know by posting a comment below, maybe get a bit of debate flowing?
Highlights for us have been Camden Black Ink and anything by Gadds, two of the best brewers around at the moment! Amazing beers.
The Festival has proven such a success we have decided to make this an annual event, bring on 2013!
– ‘IPA is Dead 2012’ Launch / Wednesday 4th April – 7pm
Next Wednesday sees us launch another amazing beer by our friends from up north, Brewdog. Officially launched last week at North Bar this is a follow up event which sees it for the first and only time in Manchester.
Come down at 7pm to meet Josie and hear the story behind ‘IPA Is Dead 2012’, as well as drinking each one individually you can also blend all four together and construct your own personal IPA! It will be a great event that lets the drinker taste the major differences between hops of varying genus and global orientation, lots more information will be revealed on the evening.
Hope to see you down here.

– Port Street Beer House ‘Field Trip’ / March 2012
Monday 19th March saw the whole Port Street ‘gang’ head over to the sunny surroundings of Huddersfield.
We had the pleasure of visiting Magic Rock Brewery, sampling some of their wares then onto The Grove for some ‘staff training’ (aka beer tasting).
Unfortunately the extensive tasting notes were lost in a briefcase left on the train back home! So we only have a list of what we tasted, plus additional pictures for your pleasure
PSBH Field Trip tasting session included:
Cantillon / Iris 2007 – 5%
Lost Abbey / Red Barn Ale – 6.7%
Marble / Vuur & Vlan – 7.2%
Mikkeller / Black Hole (Barrel Aged Red Wine Edition) – 13.1%
* Plus there were many drinks afterwards that were not documented by myself! I left everyone about 8pm and it was me that ‘lost’ the tasting notes on the train. Sorry. It was fun though…..
