– American Showcase – August 27th to September 3rd
For the Bank Holiday Weekend, we’re bringing the sights and sounds… actually we’re bringing neither of them, but you’ll be able to TASTE of the United States of America to Port Street Beer House. The hotbed of the original craft beer revolution, we’ve picked out some of out favourite kegs that we’ve been holding on to for a special occasion – and now’s the perfect time.
We’ll be starting by pouring these crackers from sour masters Oregon’s Cascade; the wildly experimental The Bruery from California; and Georgia’s finest Creature Comforts. We’ve also got some special bottles in the fridge – take a look on the app to find out more.
Cascade – Primordial Noir 2017 Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Red Ale With Cherries and Spices 10.5%
Primordial Noir is a blend of imperial red ales aged in bourbon and wine barrels for up to two years with Northwest-grown Bing cherries and spices. A concentrated precursor to our Sang Noir project, Primordial Noir features a more robust bourbon and cherry presence with notes of roast malt, molasses and baking spices.
Cascade – Figaro 2011 Northwest Style Sour Ale aged in Oak Barrels with White Figs 9.5%
Blend of sour Blond ales aged in Chardonnay barrels for up to 18 months with white figs and lemon peel. Featuring complex flavors of dried figs, citrus peel, green grapes and apple skins, this NW style sour ale is ready to drink now, but will continue to evolve in the bottle for several years.
The Bruery- Or Xata Blonde Ale Brewed with rice and lactose, with natural cinnamon and vanilla 7.2%
Horchata is a traditional, sweet, milky drink originating in Spain and Latin America that has become quite popular in Southern California, particularly with Mexican cuisine. Our homage to the traditionally non-alcoholic drink is a blonde ale brewed with a heavy dosing of rice, cinnamon and vanilla along with lactose for a little extra creamy character. These ingredients meld together to create a taste and experience that hints at horchata, but it’s much more than that. The flavor is hard to describe, but for those who know it, you know you love it.
The Bruery- It Depense Rum barrel aged sour stout with Balaton cherries 11.1%
What’s in a beer? It Depense! Depense is French for spent, and in this case, it refers to Balaton cherries leftover from a previous batch of beer. We added them to a sour stout along with even more fresh cherries and aged it in rum barrels to make the flavor even more luscious and bold. Notes of berries, spice, molasses, and wood are perfectly blended for a nice twist on our sour stout portfolio.
Creature Comforts – Bibio Pilsner 4.9%
Bibo® (pronounced bee-bo) is a crisp, dry, and classic pilsner. A distinct continental hop flavor and aroma creates a well-balanced and tastefully crafted brew.
Pouring until 2nd September, or until they run out.

– North Tap Takeover – August 19th to 25th
We’ve invited Leeds legends North Brewing Co over to serve up some of their latest & finest. They’ve been churning out heavy hitters since before Port Street was even a twinkle in the eye of… ah that’s a line of enquiry we don’t really want to go down really. Regardless, all these years on, they’re still one of the best and most exciting in the game – and when they got in touch about helping launch their latest pale ale, Atlantis, we were never going to say no.
Atlantis is the star of the show here – a 4.1% pale ale that is super drinkable (ain’t that the truth), vibrant, and tropical. Unbeatable all round – and we’ll be doing a little giveaway on the socials if you follow us @portstreetbeer

– First Pour: Six Sided Brewery – Industry Hazy Session Pale 4%
This bank holiday weekend (Saturday 29th – Monday 31st May 2021), we’ll be welcoming the first beer from a brand new brewery to Port Street. Please welcome Six Sided, a brand new brewery based in Ancoats.
Inspired by the city of Manchester and the worker bees that form such a large part of the area’s branding and identity, Six Sided’s debut brew is also a hark to the zeitgeist of Manchester. Industry is a hazy session pale ale that is packed with Pacific Northwest hops. A grain bill of barley, wheat and oats is complimented by Cascade, Citra & Mosaic.
We’ll be pouring it all weekend long – or until our supplies run out.
Visit Six Sided’s website here.

– Cascade Sour Showcase – Thursday 20 to Sunday 23 May
Sour beers – if you know, you know. Cascade Brewing certainly know, and they’ve been slamming out some of the best sours anywhere in the world for the past 15 years. Based in Oregon (US), they’re not bound by stylistic guidelines – just their own imagination, and the ingredients that they’re able to access. Their sour beer blends feature fruit forward, barrel-aged ales that offer a complex array of flavour, derived from their North-West US grown ingredients. Each release captures the unique subtleties of that year’s growing season, and all their beers come from their original brewery in Southwest Portland, before being blended and aged at their nearby blending house.
We’ve been waiting for the perfect time to put on some of our favourite beers of Cascade’s from our cellar – and the return of indoor seating at Port Street couldn’t be any more ideal. We’ve got three beers available – served by the third, half, two thirds, or pint – that aim to give a decent scope of their ethos. We’re also serving by the flight. Available Thursday through to Sunday.
Prices are for 1/3.
