– ‘Old & Dark Festival’ / Tuesday 22nd November until 6th December 2011 *
Darkness is descending on Port Street from the 22nd November. Over the past few months we have been secreting some of the best old & dark ales we could get our hands on away in our cellar. As the nights draw in we’ll be offering you warming and sumptuous beers that warm you from the inside out.
Expect porters, stouts, old ales, aged stouts, black IPA’s & imperial stouts. We also have a couple of events that coincide with this celebration, firstly the launch of Hardknott’s ‘Vitesse Noir’, a powerful dark ale with cocoa, vanilla and coffee on Wednesday 23rd Nov. Secondly our final Meet The Brewer of the year with Magic Rock on Monday 28th Nov, where they will be launching their brand new imperial stout, ‘Bearded Lady’.
So, put down the pale & pick up a porter. Drink for the season.

A fantastic evening with Garrett Oliver (Brooklyn Brewery), celebrating the launch of his Oxford Companion to Beer. We tasted some lovely beers, including Local 2, Sorachi Ace, Black Chocolate Stout, Black Ops and a selection of Garrett’s ‘personal stash’!
Many thanks to James Clay and Oxford University Press for making this happen!
Cheers!

Only brewing since June 2011, Huddersfield based Magic Rock have already built a solid reputation for their modern flavourful brews. Monday 28th November sees the Magic Rock sideshow roll into Port Street for their first Manchester ‘Meet The Brewer’.
Join us from 6pm when we’ll be pouring a selection of Magic Rock’s trademark hop-forward cask and keg beers. We will also be the first place anywhere to get a taste of “Bearded Lady”, Magic Rock’s new 11% Imperial Stout which we helped them brew back in October.
The brewers will also be joining us on the night to introduce the beers and answer any questions. We expect tickets to sell very quickly so if you want to join us for what promises to be a great evening don’t hang around.
