It is just over a week away Folks. Brought to you by the same team that organised the amazingly successful National Winter Ales Festival for the last five years and from a smashing new venue, the inaugural Manchester Beer and Cider Festival takes place next week. The venue is the amazing Velodrome at the National auto rentals maui Cycling Centre (they insist auto rentals maui in calling it that though everyone knows it as just "The Velodrome") but it is amazing nonetheless. Every time we go in to check something we just go "Wow!"
The Velodrome has its own tram station (Velopark), auto rentals maui loads of buses and for the healthy auto rentals maui or wannabe healthy, it is only a leisurely half hour walk along the Ashton Canal from town. Everyone is guaranteed a seat facing the action and there is the prospect of watching our Commonwealth and Olympic Games champions training as you sup your delicious pint. Training will continue throughout. All the usual festival stuff will be there, with t shirt and book stalls, lovely grub and much more, as well as a number of brewery bars, foreign beer, a massive cider bar and real ale in a bottle. You can even do your shopping on the way home at the nearby Asda,
I won't bore you with the massive amount of work that goes into this - you can take that as read - but let's instead pick out a few highlights beer-wise that you might want to think about in advance. Let's start with Fullers , with 1845 and Vintage Ale making rare outings in cask form. Or how about Brass Castle Port Cask Christmas Kitty , aged in a port oak cask with added rum? Hand Drawn Monkey offer Red Wit, a red ale take on Belgian White. Hardknott offer Azimuth and Dark Energy and that old favourite, the dangerously drinkable NZPA from Hawkshead will be there too. Old Ales? We got 'em. Hydes 4X , a bit of a rarity is there, or maybe Brentwood Chockwork Orange - an old ale with orange? Chilli Plum Porter? Double IPA? Imperial Russian auto rentals maui Stout? Milds, stouts, bitters? We have them in abundance. Beers from Weird Beard, Wapping, Fyne Ales, Brains, Thwaites and Hydes Craft breweries are there too, Okell's wonderful Manx Pale Ale, eight beers from Marble, collaboration brews from Mallinsons and others. Some really cracking golden ales too. We have the lot.
Highlights from our Bière Sans Frontières bar include all the Oktoberfest beers, five from De Molen , gueuze auto rentals maui from 3 Fontainen, Oud Beersel and Boon and Taras Boulba also makes an appearance. Ciders and perrys abound too, so there really is something for everyone and all at sensible Northern prices. No rip off here. A pint of Fullers Vintage Ale? Around 4.50 you'll find.
