Cloudwater Brew Co. (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 (Launch)

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.

– Northern Monk Mini Tap Takeover / Wednesday 25th February 2015 – 7pm

We are delirious to announce that Northern Monk will be taking us over this coming Wednesday 25th February. Northern Monk have been bopping it out of the park lately from their highly recommended refectory hotspot in the heart of Leeds’ thriving craft beer scene. They swoop down upon us for a mini-tap takeover with a mini-mountain of 3 keg and 3 cask lines. Where else you gonna get to sample 6 Northern Monk beers outside of their very own tap room? Taxi to Port Street!

Think these monks just popped up on the block all wet behind the ears? Think again! Northern Monk have been reading the beer scriptures and lo, they are learned. Hit us with the blurb, Monk men…

Since the 7th century AD monks have produced and sold beer across Europe. In 1086, the Domesday book records the brewing of almost 70,000 gallons of ale by monks – whilst Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire once brewed 60 barrels of strong ale every 10 days.

In the 21st century, based in a Grade II listed mill building in the spiritual heart of the global industrial revolution in the centre of Leeds, Northern Monk take thousands of years of brewing heritage and tradition and combine them with the best of both local and internationally sourced ingredients to craft beers to excite, to savour, to taste and to remember…True North.

– Birthday Brew with Mad Hatter – 4th Anniversary

As is tradition we have brewed a special birthday beer, this time with Mad Hatter ’cause they brew some great witbiers with interesting ingredients. Remember how good Raspberry & Basil Wit was?? Have you tried the Cranberry & Beetroot Wit? They’re right good!

Influenced by some of our favourite beers from last year we decided to brew a Wit using a load of red peppers and brettanomyces then throw in a few extra herbs & spices too. Come give it a try! We’ll let you know the name of it when we come up with something ‘witty’ (sorry). Help us choose from our current ideas by voting on our Facebook page… (UPDATE the beer is now called ‘Much Needed’ R&R)

We all piled down to Liverpool, hopping on the train with 2 x 25kg sacks of grain to carry over to Mad Hatter before getting lost with some taxi drivers and then finally making it to get brewing. Gaz & Sue were kind enough to let us have some delicious beers while we brewed, which obviously led to us buying some for Port Street so you too can try them!

This latest batch of Follow The White Rabbit is probably my favourite White IPA, so you should definitely try it. Here’s some photos from the day…

For more brewery information, please read on :

Oedipus Brewing, a micro-brewery established in 2011 by four friends in Amsterdam. For Oedipus there’s not just one delicious beer. Beer can taste endlessly diverse which they try to let people taste through their selection which continually expands.

Their Brewpub (opening early 2015) will brew a new beer every week, enabling them to experiment and broaden their selection. Oedipus brew for everybody who’s open for new flavours, it doesn’t matter whether you’re new to drinking beer or even a beer geek. Oedipus have it covered.

Rooie Dop is a craft brewery from Utrecht, The Netherlands, who makes awesome, flavourful beer, sometimes experimental. Rooie Dop doesn’t care about style guidelines, they care about flavour. Brewers and craft beer drinkers are passionate about beer and want to have a good time and good beer. Rooie Dop totally agrees on that.
