Seven Macclesfield venues to host Macclesfield Party Beer Trail on Saturday 15th August

Track Brewing brings its Brewery Block Party concept to Macclesfield, teaming up seven independent venues with guest breweries for a town-wide tap takeover trail

Seven of Macclesfield's best independent venues will each host a guest brewery for a one-day tap takeover on Saturday 15th August, as the Macc Party Beer Trail comes to town.

The event has been organised by Track Brewing, following the success of Manchester's Brewery Block Parties and its outing to Stockport as the Stock Party. Rather than a single pop-up bar, the Macc Party Beer Trail sees each of the seven venues partner with a guest brewery, with the whole day tied together by music, food and a stamp card trail.

The full trail line-up is as follows:

• The Depot x Track Brewing

• R&G's Beer Vault x Sureshot

• RedWillow Macclesfield x Cloudwater Brewery

• Five Clouds Tap and Bottle x Balance Brewing

• The Castle x Steelfish Brewing

• Bollington Brewery Taproom x Runaway Brewery

• Picturedrome Macclesfield x Blackjack Brew & The Brewery of St Mars of the Desert

How it works

Visitors can start at any participating venue and pick up a stamp card. Collecting stamps along the trail adds a treasure-hunt feel to the day, with everyone encouraged to explore as many venues as possible and discover a new favourite beer along the way. Anyone who completes their stamp card can hand it in at any of the seven venues to be entered into a prize draw for a bundle of beery prizes.

When: Saturday 15th August, from 12.00pm

Where: Start at any of the seven participating venues across Macclesfield and grab a stamp card

A celebration of Macclesfield

The trail's artwork, including the poster's sun-crowned Green Man character, has been created by Dick Vincent Illustration, an illustrator based right here in Macclesfield. The imagery runs through the stamp cards and signage at every venue, giving the trail a distinct local identity and tying the whole day back to the town it celebrates. As much as it's a showcase for great independent beer, the Macc Party Beer Trail is designed as a celebration of Macclesfield itself, its pubs, its people, and its independent spirit.

Stefan Melbourne, Event & Creative Manager, Track Brewing Co, said:

"Following the success of Manchester's Brewery Block Parties and Stockport's Stock Party, we're bringing the concept to beautiful Macclesfield with a few extra friends and a bit of a twist. Rather than a pop-up bar, we're working with seven of the great independent venues we already supply, each paired with a guest brewery for a tap takeover. Seven venues, seven takeovers, one trail. See you in Macc."

Matthew Dradge, Business Development Manager, Blackjack Brewing, said:

"Blackjack are delighted to join our friends at Track for this special collaborative beer trail in Macclesfield. We'll be pouring 'The Dream', a lesser-seen German-style Roggenbier we've made together with Sheffield's St Mars of the Desert, at our home in the Picturedrome."

Katie Jones, Creative Lead, Bollington Brewing Company, said:

"Macclesfield Beer Trail is a fantastic opportunity to bring folk together, celebrate our brilliant local independents, and meet even more of our community. We're especially looking forward to sharing our collaboration brew with Runaway Brewery."

Mark Welsby, Founder of Runaway Brewery, said:

"Although Runaway and Bollington might appear slightly different on the surface, our approach to beer and beer culture has heaps in common with Lee and the team at Bollington, who, like us, understand the importance of heritage and tradition while looking for ways to create modern beer experiences for our local community."

Charlie Harding, Marketing Manager at RedWillow Brewery & Bars, said:

“We're really excited to be part of the Macc Party Beer Trail. Cloudwater are one of the most exciting breweries in the country, and we can't wait to pour some of their special, hard-to-get beers here at RedWillow.”

Jane Catterson, Marketing & Social Media Manager, Cloudwater Brewery

“We’re super excited to be hitting up the amazing city of Macclesfield for an extension of our Manchester Brewery Block Party event this August. Our Brewery Manager Mel used to work at RedWillow, so it made perfect sense for us to join forces for this beer trail and get pouring some amazing beer together. The beauty of the craft beer industry lies in the people behind it, and we’re so grateful we get to celebrate both new and familiar faces. See you on the trail!”
