It’s been organised by the team behind Indy Man Beer Con festival, Cloudwater, The Pilcrow and Port Street Beer House, and punters heading down over the weekend can expect over 80 taps pouring over 200 beers from over 50 of the North West’s finest brewers.

Taking place between Friday 28th – Sunday 30th June, there’ll be at least 60 beers pouring at any one time and a good mix of street food traders down at Sadler’s Yard

Highlights on this year’s line-up include a 12% blueberry cheesecake stout by Omnipollo x Dugges Bryggeri’s Anagram (aka the beer that took Summer Beer Thing’s heart back in 2017) and Prairie Artisan Ales BOMB – a 13% imperial stout aged on espresso beans, chocolate, vanilla beans, and ancho chilli peppers.

Schöfferhofer’s converted ice cream van will be there too, covering all your grapefruit beer cravings (ice cream lovers are warned, there’s only beer to be found in here).

There will also be a cocktail bar courtesy of Bring & Mix serving bespoke cocktails – and maybe even a few cheeky beer concoctions.
