As well as bringing you some of the finest British cask conditioned ales, the Manchester Beer and Cider Festival will also feature some of the very best beers from around the world. Like the rest of our selection, we look to mix the traditional with new modern styles & breweries – so we’ll include some of the world’s oldest breweries and some of the newest.
There will be two bars – one featuring Belgian, German & Czech beers and the other featuring the rest of the world. Both bars will have a mix of draught and bottled beers.
We cannot guarantee the availability of any particular beer at any particular session.
