– Brass Castle Lunatic Launch and Tap Takeover
Brass Castle Lunatic Black Lager launch and mini tap takeover / Wednesday 23rd March 2016 / 5pm onward
North Yorkshire brewery, Brass Castle, from York (Malton to be precise), make the trip to Port Street to launch their anticipated Lunatic Black Lager. The centrepiece of this event will be flanked by some cask and keg selections from Brass Castle.
Details on the line up soon! Meanwhile, here are some words direct from the horse’s mouth…
“Brass Castle has a 12 barrel brewhouse in the centre of Malton, pimped with a 15 barrel mash tun, a gas-fired kettle and the luxury of a cold liquor tank. The brewery’s house yeast does its work in three fermenters, whilst the staff clean up after it. For lagering and keg-filling there are also three conditioning tanks. The rest of the space is largely taken up with empty casks waiting either to be filled or cleaned!
All Brass Castle beers are vegan and vegetarian friendly, as we don’t let animal-derived products anywhere near the brewhouse. Spent grain from the brewing process goes to mulch a (large!) tree plantation and to be digested into wiggly amps. Spent hops find their way onto local allotments.
The brewery also houses our bottle shop, selling a range of beers that we like, and Yorkshire Homebrew’s equipment and ingredient shop. Every second Saturday of the month we open up the brewhouse Tap Room, serving at least eight beers and guaranteeing a grand day out.”
– 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…
– Cloudwater Spring Summer 2016 Launch
WEDNESDAY 9th MARCH 2016 / from 5pm / Port Street Beer House / free entry
Way, way back in the heady days of Spring 2015, a new brewery baby was born to the world. Cloudwater was the name and lo, hasn’t (s)he grown in a year.

– 5th Birthday Celebrations
5 beers, 5 Years
January 25-31st
Collaboration Launch night: Thursday 28th January: 7pm-late
In January 2010 something exciting happened, Port Street Beer House opened its doors for the first time! Since then there have been hundreds of Meet the Brewer events, over 30+ Tap Takeovers, 20+ Collaboration brews and the birth of our sister Indy Man Brew House, 10+ Portable Street Beer House events and 4 Indy Man Beer Conventions.
In an ever-growing market of beer houses Port Street has been there. So to celebrate 5 years in the big game we are throwing a week-long party, highlighted by our 5 years, 5 beers launch party on Thursday 28th January.
Every year, to celebrate our birth we collaborate with someone special to make something special. Previous years have seen a Rosemary, Red Pepper and Fennel Wit with Mad Hatter, a Sour Cherry and Pink Peppercorn Porter with Outstanding, a Saison DuPont brewed with Summer Wine, Magic Rock, Redwillow, Dark Star & Quantum and a Satsuma IPA with Blackjack. This year we thought we would challenge ourselves even further and brew 5 beers for the one night. We are working hard to bring you the following very special brews:
1) Arbor – 4 Hop Bomb Pale
2) Vocation – Citra & Mosaic Pale
3) Cloudwater – Tea Sour
4) Northern Monk – Imperial Mild
5) Runaway, Squawk & Track – Grapefruit Pale
The rest of the week will hold special curated cask and keg lines featuring some of our favourite local, national and international breweries, as well as some specially matured bottles from our cellar that we have been hiding away for a special occasion.
