– Moor Beer – Tap Takeover / Thursday 21st May – 7pm
Californian Justin Hawke brews a boldly flavoured variety of modern classics that bring in the awards such as Nor’Hop, Hoppiness and Revival. Moor kicked off the unfined beer movement in the UK, with all beers being unfined & naturally hazy (and therefore vegan friendly).
In 2014 Moor expanded yet again, refurbishing a large site in central Bristol, minutes’ walk from the rail station and city centre, including a shop and brewery tap. Moor now brews a core set of beers and a large range of specials, exceeding 20 different beers which are all available naturally conditioned in cask, keg, and soon in can.
There will be seven cask and four keg available on the evening :
Keg :
Fusion 2014 (8%) – Our ‘Old Freddy Walker’ Old Ale, aged in Somerset Cider Brandy barrels.
Hoppiness (6.5%) – The classic Moor Beer IPA.
Return of the Empire (5.7%) – Modern English IPA with ‘Jester’ Hops.
Ready Made 2 (5%) – Porridge Ale brewed in collaboration with Birifficio Dada in Modena. Lots of Mosaic and Calypso hops.
Cask:
Revival (3.8%) – Modern Transatlantic Pale Ale.
TM (3.9%) – Mild. A new recipe for an old favourite.
So’Hop (4.1%) – Ultra Pale Ale hopped with Galaxy.
Brit-Hop (4.1%) – Ultra Pale Ale hopped with Jester.
‘Half and Half’ (4.1%) – half Mild, half Bitter. Ask your Grandad.

– Redchurch Brewery ‘Wild Series’ Mini Tap Takeover – Thursday 23rd April / 7pm

Always offering a full flavour, unfiltered vision in modern beers, Redchurch have gone one further and unleashed an experimental arm of the brewery.
The Redchurch Wild series is going to be specialising in wild fermentations and farmhouse ales. Join us for the mini tap takeover at Port Street showcasing their wild cards in full effect. Contain yourself, brett fans! Redchurch’s brewers will be on hand to fan your fevered brows.

– Alphabet Brewery Tap Takeover / Thursday 30th April – 7pm
April’s rich vein of takeovers at Port Street continues with the launch of Manchester’s Alphabet Brewery. A small craft brewery based behind Piccadilly Station focussing on making fun beers with big, bold flavours. Head brewer is Tom Evans, previously of Huddersfield’s Hand Drawn Monkey. Pump clips by famed Manchester street artist and illustrator, Hammo, mirror the brewery’s excitable intent.
We first tasted Alphabet’s output in the shape of A to the K, an oatmeal pale ale, back in January at our belated Christmas party. Our staff drained a keg in little over an hour, it was that good! Some of you may too have been lucky enough to have tasted Alphabet’s initial yield. For those of you still in the dark we are proud to be presenting Alphabet Brewery’s official Manchester launch at the end of the month. Their beer launch setlist reads like a dream…
KEG :
Kerb Kicker 4.4% pale ale
A to the K 5.6% oatmeal pale ale
Crate Digger 8.3% coffee stout
Flat White 7.8% white breakfast stout
Space Invader 6% pink grapefruit & tarragon saison
Canadian Chainsaw Massacre 4.8% maple brown ale
Hop Damn 6.1% chili black ipa
Come join us to dot the i’s and cross the t’s on Alphabet’s official Manchester debut!
