– Meet The Brewer with Marble Brewery / Monday 23 January
£8 advance (tickets available from the bar or call 0161 237 9949)
Doors 5.30pm / Event runs 6.15pm – 8pm
Our first event of 2012 will see us welcome one of favourite local breweries, Marble. We will be joined by head brewer, James Campbell – sampling five of their best, along side some tasty local snacks.
Marble shouldn’t need much of an introduction around these parts, but for those unaware: “Marble Beers Ltd started brewing in 1997 in the rear of the Victorian Grade 2 listed Marble Arch pub in Manchester. The brewery produces a number of award winning regular beers and one off specials. In recent years Marbles beers have gained growing support from beer lovers nationwide who actively seek out their contemporary style, full flavoured beers.”
– New Years Eve at Port Street Beer House
Sick of fighting to get a table on New Years Eve? Always stuck for an idea how to spend ‘the most anticipated night of the year’? We may have the answer!
The upstairs saloon of Port Street Beer House will be available for table reservations on NYE. Tables will be booked out for a minimum of 4 people and bookings will be reserved with a £10 deposit per person. This deposit will be returned to you on the night in the form of a bar tab. For example, if you book a table for 4 people, you’ll need to leave £40 deposit but on the night you’ll have a £40 bar tab set up waiting for you.
We have a limited number of tables so put in a booking request and providing we can accommodate your group we’ll be in touch to arrange the deposit.
In addition to the table booking you can also pre book a special bottle or two for your group or a cheese board which will be brought to you at your table.
The downstairs bar at Port Street will be open as usual all night so you can choose whether to mingle around or hang out with your group upstairs. Service will be until 1am (ish).
NYE at PSBH / 4pm until 1am (ish)

– Photos / Meet The Brewer with Magic Rock
Here are some photos from out last Meet The Brewer of 2011 – many thanks to all at Magic Rock, we had a wonderful evening of fine ales and pork pies.
We will return in February 2012 with more Meet The Brewer events – cheers to everyone who has made it down this year!
– Kirkstall Aquitaine
Next week we will be serving up a very special beer to coincide with our Old & Dark Festival. The beer is a joint effort from Kirkstall brewery & Odell Brewing Co.
The collab is an English style old ale that Kirkstall’s head brewer Dave Sanders and Doug Odell designed together. It is a deep brown-reddish colour with a full body & rounded complex flavour. It was aged in Bordeaux casks for 2 months and the results are amazing.
This 8.0% beauty will go on sale next Wednesday night (30th) and is not to be missed.
