– Mad Hatter Imperious IPA KEG Launch

Thursday 20th August 2015 // 7pm // Port Street Beer House // free entry

Delirious to announce the launch of Mad Hatter’s 12% 2015 imperial IPA, IMPERIOUS IPA, on keg at Port Street.

Liverpool’s Mad Hatter are hailing Imperious as a 12% monster IPA. Containing loads, and I quote “LOADS”, of Simcoe, Citra & Centennial hops – that’s 20 kilos of hops per 400 litres of beer, fact fans. Said hops have been added at five different points to the boil, and twice dry hopped.

The new Imperious boasts a lighter, cleaner malt body than Mad Hatter’s previous Imperious output with Vienna & Munich malts clearing the way for the hop party to shine.

As if the Imperious blockbuster wasn’t enough, we shall also be hosting a MAD HATTER MINI TAP TAKEOVER with at least four (and maybe more) kegs on the board. And as if THAT wasn’t enough, we will also be joined on the evening by Mad Hatter lynchpins, Paul & Jonny!

Join us on Thursday 20th August 2015 from 7pm to launch the good ship Imperious IPA & friends!

On KEG we will have…

– A day of board games

Hear ye! Hear ye! Travelling Man are upping sticks from their Dale street location & making the arduous trek to Port Street. They come in peace & they bring copious amounts of board games, big and small. Join the Travelling Man takeover of our upstairs room for board game demo heaven & ample opportunity to play along ALL DAY LONG.

– Track & Squawk Tap Takeover

Join us Thursday 16th July for the double delight tap takeover from two of Manchester’s most treasured new breweries, Track Brewing Co. & Squawk Brewing Co.

There’s going to be casks aplenty from both breweries, a couple of kegs each and an all-new collaborative beer. Here’s what is confirmed so far…

TRACK on cask:
Mazama – 5.5%
Sonoma – 3.8%
Zaka – 4.8%

SQUAWK on cask:
Porter – 4.5%
Rhubarb Pale – 5.5%
Pale – 4.1%

Come down and wade in it, meet the brewers and sample a rich vein of local craft output.

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.”

– Nómada / Northern Monk Mini Tap Takeover

Aw, so cute! The tiniest of tap takeovers has just landed on our doorstep all wrapped up in a tidy bundle. Leeds favourites, Northern Monk, have recently done a collaboration with Nomada of Sabadell, Spain. Frate Nero, an Imperial India Coffee Stout. To celebrate we’ll be pouring their collaboration along with one keg apiece from the breweries.

As well as these three taps, we will also be carrying a veritable bevy of Nómada bottles. Northern Monk have imported a whole host and we were only too glad to accept this rare spread. Imperial Papaya IPA anyone? Imperial chilli chocolate stout with a whole chilli in it? Taste buds tingling in anticipation. You will also be able to try out the Frate Nero collaboration in bottle alongside the keg.

A great chance to get a taste of these lesser seen Spanish beers – and to rub shoulders once more with our most trusted monk from across the pennines.
