– North Tap Takeover – August 19th to 25th
We’ve invited Leeds legends North Brewing Co over to serve up some of their latest & finest. They’ve been churning out heavy hitters since before Port Street was even a twinkle in the eye of… ah that’s a line of enquiry we don’t really want to go down really. Regardless, all these years on, they’re still one of the best and most exciting in the game – and when they got in touch about helping launch their latest pale ale, Atlantis, we were never going to say no.
Atlantis is the star of the show here – a 4.1% pale ale that is super drinkable (ain’t that the truth), vibrant, and tropical. Unbeatable all round – and we’ll be doing a little giveaway on the socials if you follow us @portstreetbeer
The full line-up is…
Atlantis Pale Ale 4.1%
Available on both keg & cask – woof
North x Paria IPA 6%
Annual collab with cycling heroes Paria

We’ll be pouring North August 19th – August 25th, or until we run out: whichever comes first.
– How we’re working after July 19th
With the constant alterations to legislation over the past 18 months, one of the most difficult things about that tinkering for bars and restaurants has been the different levels everyone visiting have been on: from those who are super vigilant, through to those who can’t wait to throw off the shackles. Though we’ve been re-open for a while now, even in the last week we’ve had visitors coming to us for their first night out in the best part of a year. Those people who’ve waited cautiously for a first proper pint will have been sharing a bar with others who have been fully enjoying their freedoms since the moment our doors re-opened earlier in the year, and everything in between. Our job now is to ensure that all of those groups are able to have a good time with us, and that they’re able to do so in a way that feels safe and appropriate.
No matter what your headspace is about everything that is going on when you visit us, we want you to be able to socialise in a way that acknowledges the liberties we’ve now been afforded, while protecting our staff, our customers, and our community.
What that means for you is that:
- Our staff will continue to wear face masks at all time while on shift, and we’ll be keeping our protective screens up at the bar
- We will continue to have a limit on our indoor seating capacity, so as to avoid overcrowding
- For the time being, we’ll be keeping our screen dividers up between seats
- We’ll be ensuring our venues are as well ventilated as each space allows
- Our levels of sanitisation and hygiene will remain the same, with tables cleaned between customers and each site cleaned in full each day
- Our app will still be the main way in which drinks are ordered – both to avoid congestion at the bar, and for an overall better customer experience.
- We ask that customers give one another space in all situations, and continue to wash your hands thoroughly
- We encourage customers to wear face masks while moving around our venues.
As always, we’ll be reviewing our policies over the coming weeks, and fine tuning them to fit the wants and needs of everyone involved. If you have any questions, comments, or issues, you can get in touch on matthew@commonandco.co.uk

– First Pour: Six Sided Brewery – Industry Hazy Session Pale 4%
This bank holiday weekend (Saturday 29th – Monday 31st May 2021), we’ll be welcoming the first beer from a brand new brewery to Port Street. Please welcome Six Sided, a brand new brewery based in Ancoats.
Inspired by the city of Manchester and the worker bees that form such a large part of the area’s branding and identity, Six Sided’s debut brew is also a hark to the zeitgeist of Manchester. Industry is a hazy session pale ale that is packed with Pacific Northwest hops. A grain bill of barley, wheat and oats is complimented by Cascade, Citra & Mosaic.
We’ll be pouring it all weekend long – or until our supplies run out.
