– Record Store Day / Revolutions Brewing Company – Saturday 21st April
West Yorkshire-based craft brewery The Revolutions Brewing Co. has teamed up with Record Store Day to make a special beer to celebrate this year’s event on April 21st. We will be stocking this on cask at both Common and Port Street Beer House. The beer, to be called Revolver, will be available in cask and in bottles at selected outlets around the UK.
Record Store Day is a day to celebrate the cornerstone of our society that is, the independently-owned record shop. Special vinyl, CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists across the globe make special appearances and performances. This annunal event is celebrated on the third Saturday every April. We suggest you get off your arse, visit your favourite record shop and purchase some lovely music instead of downloading tracks for free, go support.
Our local emporium Piccadilly Records will be taking part in the event, we recommend you support your local dealer. Our big brother Common will also hosting a veritable feast of DJs on the day, you can read more about that here.
– ‘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.

– Updated: Festival of Britain(s Beers) / March 26th – 8th April 2012
The end of this month sees our first festival of the year! We have taken on board some of your suggestions following our previous blog piece and we are proud to present a selection of Britain’s finest beers.
Update…… 15th March 2012
We thought we would entice you a little more for our forthcoming Festival of Britain(s beers). This festival is a must for a beer lover and it’s really exciting for us too. To have an entire Birtish tap takeover on our bar is something to be really proud of, because so many great beers are being brewed on these shores by amazingly talented people.
Here are four beers we are getting really excited about, these will be on during the festival period:
Summerwine Maelstrom
New permanent Double IPA, 9% in volume this is lining up to be an impressive beer. If Diablo is anything to go by it’s going to be epic.
Kernel Motueka IPA
Keg Kernel does not come around very often, we have had a couple but they have kindly done us some more. Motueka is a dual purpose hop variety from New Zealand and one of our favourites, bred from noble this hop imparts flavours of tropical fruit & spice.
Lovibonds Dirty 69
Were lucky to get this one too, a black version of the 69 IPA. Brewed with a nod to tradition but with modern techniques and hop choice. Hopped with Cascade and Chinook then dry hopped using the Hopinator.
Camden USA Hells
Brewed as a limited release, we have the only keg outside of London. Made with all US hops this unfiltered lager is not to be missed. Star spangled, hopped to hells.
