Dry January is nearly over. So why not get ready for Wet February by having a cheeky drink or two? By a strange quirk of fate, the Manchester Beer and Cider festival is in town this weekend with 22 bars offering over 750 ales, ciders, perrys, fruit wines, mead and handmade sodas. Decisions, decisions.
Manchester Beer & Cider Festival
The organisers of the Manchester Beer and Cider festival are really pushing the boat out this year with 22 bars serving 650 beers from around the world, plus a staggering 77 ciders and 26 perrys from 63 different producers, beating last year’s record-breaking choice. The range of modern keg beers from both the UK and overseas will be the largest ever but, as you might expect from an event organised by the nine Greater Manchester branches of the Campaign For Real Ale, the cask-conditioned beer is the star of the show, with almost 400 to choose from. Thursday 25 until Saturday 27 January. Please drink responsibly.
