‘Meet The Brewer’ with Thornbridge
Monday 22nd August / 6pm – 8pm (bar open until 10pm)
£8 advance tickets (on sale now)
On Monday 22nd August we have another one of our favourite brewers hosting an evening of exclusive tastings and informative chats. The other month we all went on a staff day out to Thornbridge Brewery, its was really exciting, so much so we invited them back to our place! They tell us they get asked all the time to organise meet the brewer events, but they tend to turn them down, so please treat this as an extra special event for Manchester!
Port Street will be presenting some exclusive brews from Thornbridge, including casks:
Seaforth – 5.9% (English IPA)
Summer Ale – 5.1% (with Sage and Ginger)
Geminus – 8.5% (a big, new bold Double IPA from Thornbridge)
Barley Wine – (abv to be confirmed)
The tickets gets you four halves of lovely beer and the chance to have a cheeky lock in after the event, as we aren’t normally open on Mondays.
Grab your ticket now!

/ Flying Dog brewery info
In 1983, a series of events in the Himalayas involving under prepared hikers, an unfaithful Sherpa, a scared-shitless donkey, and quickly consumed contraband led to the creation of the Flying Dog philosophy.
That’s right, philosophy. It wasn’t until 1990 that beer came into the picture. From a brewpub in Aspen, Colorado to a full-fledged Denver brewery, and then to a state-of-the-art brewing facility in Frederick, Maryland, Flying Dog stands for not only extraordinary beer, but also for standing tall, doing great things, and not letting anyone make you eat shit.
For the past 20 years, they’ve done just that. they produce world-class craft beers and continue to push the envelope with experimental brews and limited-edition one-offs. All the while, we continuously pay homage to our Gonzo Godfathers – George Stranahan, Hunter S. Thompson, and Ralph Steadman. Most importantly, they have a lot of fun doing it. And we never take ourselves too seriously.
