– ‘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…..

– Ilkley Brewery Specials / Festival Of Britain(s Beers)
Next week we are proud to present two very special beers that will launch Ilkley’s new ‘Origins’ range and as such will be a departure from their current branding.
They will of course retain the quality, hop-forwardness and drinkability that you would come to expect from an Ilkley beer. They are incredibly excited to be launching this range at next weeks Festival Of Britian(s Beers) they include:
Medina: This is a Moroccan style Saison, brewed in collaboration with esteemed Beer Writer Pete Brown. It is 6%, dark brown and has hints of coriander, ginger and orange.
Siberia: A Rhubarb Saison, Siberia was brewed in collaboration with Melissa Cole (yet another renowned Beer Writer). The sour rhubarb is balanced by vanilla, and there is an underlying heat to this 6% Saison.
Cheers and beers.
