– Buxton takeover PSBH 6th-9th October 2016

BUXTON BREWERY TAKEOVER PORT STREET
6th-9th October 2016 / IMBC 16 Fringe

We never believed in the term/lifestyle “Birthday Week” until now…and it’s not even our birthday, though it feels like it is.

Buxton Brewery are coming to Port Street for FOUR DAYS. That’s almost a week. I’m sure they’ll be four of the best days of our year that’s for sure. Think a tap takeover and quadruple it. Buxton are promising to bring a very special haul – rumours of cask rarities and soft serve pours abound. Details coming soon.

The Buxton Port Street takeover is a fringe event for our beer festival, Indy Man Beer Con, occurring the exact same days as merriments in Victoria Baths (6th-9th October 2016). As if you didn’t have enough good beer on your plate, we thought we’d give you more. The Buxton takeover is open to all.

Our sister pubs are also holding IMBC fringe takeovers with Common housing a BEAVERTOWN spectacular and The Beagle in Chorlton fielding a HAWKSHEAD onslaught. Gotta drink ’em all!

– North Brewing Co Tap Takeover

Thursday 28th July 2016 / 5pm – late

We are honoured to welcome Leeds’ North Brewing Co across the pennines for a special tap takeover at Port Street.

Set up by the pioneering Leeds-based bar group North Bar Ltd and the successful team behind Belgrave Music Hall and Headrow House, North Brewing Co (and taproom) opened in November 2015 at Taverner’s Walk Industrial Estate on the fringe of Leeds City Centre and initially serviced the eight bars currently operated by the two bar groups. Brewers Seb Brink (formerly of Golden Owl) and Darius Darwell (of Bristol Beer Factory) are behind the recipes of the beers, which vary from classic British styles to exciting and interesting flavour combinations.

The team have collaborated with a number of breweries in recent months, including Drygate Brewery in Glasgow and most recently brewing a Yorkshire rhubarb sour beer with Lervig Brewery from Norway. North have got a collaboration lined up with BrewDog and the Port Street team recently took a trip to Leeds to make a beer with North that you’ll be able to taste for the first time at this tap takeover.

Here’s the beer list…

KEG

Sputnik – 5% pale ale
Transmission – 6.9% west coast IPA
Full Fathom 5 – 6.5% coffee porter
Herzog – 5% kolsch style
Kettle Sour – Lervig collaboration 3.2% sour
