Cloud Water (Spring launch + brewery tour)
At Cloudwater Brew Co they’ve been working hard to set up an uncompromising modern brewery that will be the largest capacity brewery start up in the north of the UK in recent times. It is with great pleasure they invite you to a very special evening at their favourite beer bar in Manchester.
They’re launching with a selection of beers from their Spring range, and with an exclusive preview tour of their brewery. We’ll be laying on a minibus that takes you, the learned drinker, right to the gates of Wonka’s factory! Be amongst the first people in the country to taste their beer, step foot in their brewery, and hear more about what they’ve got in store for you this year. We’d love you to join us in celebrating their debut, and to mark the start of a journey that will make far more of Manchester’s future than its past.
Beavertown (Tap take over)
Ladies and gentlemen, Beavertown! You can’t have turned a craft corner over the past couple of years without locking eyes upon Beavertown’s vibrantly illustrated cans. Of course we wouldn’t judge a beer by its cover, the content behind the label has been consistently excellent since their inception.
Established in 2011 by Logan Plant in the kitchen of rib joint Duke’s Brew and Que, Hackney. Beavertown has recently picked up sticks and motored to bigger things in Tottenham Hale, via a stop in Fish Island, proving that the Beavertown express gathers no moss.
We’ve all swooned and gone ga-ga for their 8 Ball Rye IPA, Gamma Ray US pale, and Smog Rocket smoked porter. When not busy with their core range they like nothing more than collaborating with some of the world’s most innovative breweries. Recent brewery hook-ups have included dallies with Mikkeller, Arizona Wilderness, Lervig, Kona, Prairie, Naparbier, Dogfish Head, Bellwoods AND their UK brethren Camden Town, Siren and Magic Rock. Yielding Farmhouse ales, Berlinerweisses, Passion Fruit sours, Double IPAs, Coffee stouts and much more besides.
Basically, I don’t think they sleep. They certainly don’t rest on their laurels. We are greatly honoured to welcome Beavertown to Port Street Beer House where they will be taking over our taps for one night only! There’s going to be surprises, exclusives and all round excitement. Whisper it on the wind but there is also promise of Beavertown CASK, now WHERE have you ever seen that before? One way ticket to Beavertown, please!
Left Handed Giant
Fresh out of the box we are delirious to welcome Bristol’s hot new tastemakers Left Handed Giant Brewing Co. What were you doing when you were a month old? Collaborating with some of the most esteemed British brewing talent? I think not! Left Handed Giant have crawled from 0-60 in next to no seconds locking horns with Bristol neighbours, Wiper and True, as well as with London powerhouses, Weird Beard and Beavertown.
Left Handed Giant Co join us at Port Street for their Northern launch and we couldn’t be more excited. Get ready for an exclusive introduction to a new British brewery with the bit between its teeth. Beer springs eternal.
