Goldie, Norman Jay MBE, and David Holmes will headline when the Manchester Craft Beer Festivals returns on 22nd and 23rd July.
The team behind Bigfoot Festival will take over Depot Mayfield to host the beer, food and music fuelled festival.
Running across three sessions — 6pm-11pm on Friday, 11.30-4.30pm on Saturday, and 6pm-11pm on Saturday — the festival features a supreme line-up of world-class breweries, from household favourites to new discoveries.
Each ticket is priced at £55 and allocates guests entry for a five-hour session on Friday or Saturday to sample the brewers and enjoy live music. The ticket includes all beer, a special festival glass, and access to the festival’s pop-up kitchens.
Representing Manchester, will be the Manchester Union, Black Jack Track, Marble, Pomona Island, and Beatnikz breweries. Some of the best breweries from all over the UK will join them. These will include Scotland’s Moonwake and sour specialists Vault City, Norfolk’s Duration pouring fresh beers and wild ales that are brewed from nature, and Beak from East Sussex, making everything from hop-forward IPAs and best bitters to saisons and imperial stouts.
Turning Point, UnBarred, Hackney Brewery, Siren, Double-Barrelled, Dark Star, Full Circle, Mondo, Timothy Taylors, North Brew Co, Brixton, Brew York, Vocation, Pastore, Alpha Delta, The Kernel and Burnt Mill are also confirmed, plus Czech’s celebrated Budvar. Beyond beer, Tappd Cocktails, Jim & Tonic, and Ascension Cider will be joining the festival, with more to be announced.
Co-founder of organiser We Are Beer, Greg Wells, said: “After such a warm welcome last year, it was no question whether we’d return to Manchester. The city is home to many incredible breweries so it’s great to be able to bring everyone together to celebrate their contribution to the craft beer community!
“As well as local legends and newcomers, we’re excited to showcase international favourites and breweries from all over the UK.
“There’s really going to be something for everyone — beer lovers and even non-beer lovers, foodies, music heads, for those wanting a learning experience or simply a memorable night out! We’re very excited to be back.”
