– Drinking at Port Street this April
We’re back open from April 12th, with our outside seating being the only place to sample Port Street Beer House for the time being. As regular will know, our outdoor section is super exclusive (i.e. fairly limited), so we’ve got 10 tables in action for the time being. A few out front, a couple more out back (including our much loved barrels), with table service throughout via the Common & Co app.
Due to the limited space, we’re operating a strict no bookings policy – meaning we’ll be dealing with walk-ups only. This means that anyone who wants to drink should be able to (though it may mean a short wait at peak times), and allows us to serve the maximum amount of people without having to turf drinkers out because their slot is over. Worse, you won’t have to stare at empty tables and not be allowed in because someone’s got that area booked in half an hour’s time.
– Pomona Tap Takeover | Wednesday 14 – Tuesday 20 October
Salford’s favourite sons ply us up with their latest top drawer tipple units ON TAP and a smattering of CANS for old time’s sake.

– Track Brewing Co Tap Takeover – 8th to 13th October
One of the greatest heroes of lockdown, TRACK BREWERY, join us IRL on the taps at Port Street for our first Track event in absolute donkeys.
I’m guessing everybody reading this got a Track delivery at some point since lockdown started. If not, then I definitely made up for it. The guys at Track mobilised with verve and have been totally killing it on the beer front these past six months.
We are excited to present a range of their freshest and best ON TAP…and this is a biggie because Track haven’t been filling kegs for MONTHS.
KEG
SONOMA 3.8% pale ale
Sonoma is a juicy, bright, dry pale. Hopped extensively with Centennial, Citra and Mosaic hops at flame out & dry hop. Designed to be a taste of sunshine with late citrus fruit aroma and finish.

RIDDLE ME THIS Lime Sour 2.8% collab w/ Naparbier
Designed to play with the big boys, this little like sour punches way above it’s weight but drinks super clean & easy. A tart, zesty little number full of pithy lime & accented by sweetness from the base. Think supercharged lime jelly babies & tangfastics.
SUNNY SIDE UP IPA 6.5% w/ Strata, Idaho 7 & El Dorado
A light, bright burst of sunshine as autumnal clouds start rolling in. This is a smile-inducing 6.5% IPA cranked up with a whopping hit of Strata, Idaho 7 & El Dorado. Zippy orange, peach Melba & apricot jam take the lead on the flavour front whilst the soft bitterness takes care of you at the finish.
EXIT MUSIC DIPA 8% Simcoe & Mosaic
A straight up muscle contest with Simcoe & Mosaic locked in an unyielding grapple with one another. Bursting with pineapple, guava & mandarin this is a triumph of simplicity with 2 classic juicy hops as the main affair boosted by a super clean, easy drinking base. Buckle up & sit tight for the ride!
WEIGHT OF THE PLANETS Gold Top DIPA 8.5% w/ Rakau & Nelson Sauvin
This is the second iteration in our Gold Top DIPA quest, designed to bring more sumptuousness & highlight our favourite hop characters. The grist, which includes body-boosting wheat & rolled oats, is mashed at a relatively high temperature leaving behind some non-fermentable sugars which has the effect of increasing the final gravity significantly which, alongside lactose added at the end of the boil, leads to a smooth & super velvety mouthfeel. This sweetness & body brings out the pineapple, guava & mandarin character from Clayton’s wonderful Rakau & Nelson Sauvin hops. Subtle white wine & gooseberry notes lead out to a smooth, luxurious finish.
BLUZON Imperial Gose 10% w/ Blackberry, Blueberry & Raspberry
A twist on our Uzon recipe. Absolutely jam packed with Blueberries, Blackberries & Raspberries and with the added additions of Vanilla & Milk Sugar to balance out that beautiful tartness. This behemoth clocks in at 10% but drinks like an autumnal dream.
LUNA Pilsner 5% Organic Nelson Sauvin & Hallertau Blanc
We utilised traditional & contemporary methods with this beer, acidifying the mash with our house acid culture to add a deeper level of complexity & recapturing CO2 to create a natural soft carbonation. We used Organic Malts & Hopped it with a combination of Organic Nelson Sauvin & Hallertau Blanc, to give a lingering, pleasant bitterness. This baby has lagered away for 6 weeks and is now ready for release! This has really become a beer that we’re very proud of – a delicate, crisp, refreshing thirst quencher.
INBETWEEN DAYS pale ale 4.9% w/ Mosaic & BRU-1
Using Extra Pale malt as a base, we’ve carefully layered malted wheat & jumbo oats for a fuller, smooth body as well as a tickle of Vienna malt which at a low percentage & with the Citra & Mosaic whirlpool addition gives a slightly sweet orange character which works wonderfully with the dry hop of Mosaic & Bru-1
