– Mad Monk Tap Takeover
Mad Hatter x Northern Monk tap takeover and collaboration launch / Thursday 24th March 2016 / 5pm onward and upward
Very pleased to announce the most exciting meeting of minds since the Leeds-Liverpool canal, which is coincidentally from whence these two breweries hail. Northern Monk (Leeds) and Mad Hatter (Liverpool) combine to become Mad Monk and take over Port Street for one night only.
Primarily Northern Monk and Mad Hatter are here to launch their new collaboration, an 11% Salted Caramel Imperial Mild. Consider our interest levels spiked! We can’t wait to taste it. It’ll be pouring on cask on the night but lo, that is not all…
Both Mad Hatter and Northern Monk will be bringing 3 x kegs apiece and 2 x casks. That’s 11 beers in total (including the collaboration), maths fans. Mad Hatter are rarely making cask beers these days so we can’t wait to see what they bring. Northern Monk, of course, are modern UK caskmasters so we are equally excited for their haul. And that’s to say nothing of the keg! Beer list coming soon…

– Against the Grain Tap Takeover // November 5th
AGAINST THE GRAIN TAP TAKEOVER // Thursday November 5th 2015 // Port Street Beer House // free entry
We are delighted to be housing a tap takeover from Against the Grain – Louisville, Kentucky’s finest. They recently did a star turn at this year’s Indy Man Beer Con, and we’ve long been fans of their brews. It’s rare that we get a keg of Against the Grain (though you’ll always find us holding big bottles in the fridge) so imagine our joy that this tap takeover will present us, and you, with EIGHT AtG beers on keg.
Against the Grain are modern masters in making big punchy, flavourful beers. In their own words,
“At Against The Grain we will always have an offering that puts hop flavor in the forefront. If you love citrusy, floral, fruity, herbal, piney, ‘resiny’, and some bitterness, this is the beer for you! We brew variations of beers that accentuate the distinct flavors that make hopheads go crazy. From the classic, subtle hop flavors in pale ale to, in your face, enamel peeling, double IPA’s, we do them all! Once a hopster…always a hopster.”
Can’t wait. Here’s what you’ve got to look forward to…

Squawk
“A new-kid-on-the-block, experimental craft brewery based in Manchester. Using techniques old and new to create complex tastes and powerful sensations. Committed to craft beer. Not afraid to mix it up and experiment with far out flavours. Selective about rules, because great beer can come from strange beginnings. For intrepid beer hunters on the lookout for bold flavours and brave brews.”
Track
“The brewery is born from a taste for adventure and experimentation – something we want to impart to the beers. Born on a solo, round the world cycle ride, Track Brewing Co sees beer as a landscape as diverse as the route. From hop driven pales and IPAs, oatmeal and imperial stouts to red ryes and saisons, the beer range aims to take drinkers on a journey. The end point being a balanced and refreshingly drinkable experience.”
