UK Weekend Beerage

Hey chaps, any must-visit pubs in central Manchester?

 

A few modernised places that are fairly close to Piccadilly that should give you a good range of cask and keg beers

Port street beer house
57 Thomas street
The Smithfield
Piccadilly tap

There’s plenty of Joseph Holt’s and jw lees pubs about if you want something a bit more traditional.

Also if you are going over the weekend you might want to visit one or a more of the brewery taps - alphabet, cloudwater, blackjack, track, runaway, beer nouveau. Though they might take some tracking down and will be majority or exclusively keg (if that’s an issue for you)

 

Thanks George. Actually no, I don't touch keg, haha.

 

Not been to Manchester in ages, want to visit it again

I am in Oxford at the moment, had 4 beers at tap social, a micro in an industrial estate. Beers were decent, hoppy table beers and a farmhouse one as well as an IPA. Going to do a traditional pub crawl tomorrow while visiting some colleges. Already looking forward to lots of twiggy bitter

 

Pretty much covers it here. May wish to listen to the Hopinions 61 here :

At the Port Street Bar now after navigating through the madness of the pride parade. Nice shout. And cleanest glassware I've ever seen in a pub.

 

Glad you like it another place you might like is cafe beermoth

 

Knee deep in twig. Both theakstons op and Young's special just about on the turn but drunk anyway as training for brexshit.

 

Did the hook Norton tour today, was nice to see around one of the last remaining tower breweries. Beers were suitably twiggy with a touch of sulphur, their lager was a little weird, rye beer probably pick of the bunch.

 

Wanted some belgian beers for a change so ordered a few ive not had before and a couple of classics. Some st feuillien blond and triple while i wait for my dinner to cook.

 

liked your most recent blog post bevis, always interested in good value craft beer

 

looks like they should cut too many costs though

 

ffs, wish you could edit after 15 minutes.


shouldn't.
