– Nómada / Northern Monk Mini Tap Takeover
Aw, so cute! The tiniest of tap takeovers has just landed on our doorstep all wrapped up in a tidy bundle. Leeds favourites, Northern Monk, have recently done a collaboration with Nomada of Sabadell, Spain. Frate Nero, an Imperial India Coffee Stout. To celebrate we’ll be pouring their collaboration along with one keg apiece from the breweries.
As well as these three taps, we will also be carrying a veritable bevy of Nómada bottles. Northern Monk have imported a whole host and we were only too glad to accept this rare spread. Imperial Papaya IPA anyone? Imperial chilli chocolate stout with a whole chilli in it? Taste buds tingling in anticipation. You will also be able to try out the Frate Nero collaboration in bottle alongside the keg.
A great chance to get a taste of these lesser seen Spanish beers – and to rub shoulders once more with our most trusted monk from across the pennines.

– 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.

Sloe Walker (7.4%) – Hand foraged Sloes infused into Old Freddy Walker.

– 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…

Kerb Kicker 4.4% pale ale
