Manchester - January 2018

A few days in Manchester for the Manchester Beer and Cider Festival plus some pubs and brewery taps. Beers I had are listed at the end.

24/1/18

Arrived in Manchester and after a quick half in the Piccadilly Tap I booked into my hotel.

I had worked out 3 pubs to visit before going to the beer festival which was open 1700-2100 as a Trade Session but CAMRA members also got free admission.

First pub was The Gasworks,



then The Knott





and finally the Cask





Beer festival to end the day held for its 3rd year at Manchester Central

this bar was one of my favourites


25/1/18

Worked at the festival on admissions from 1200-1745, then a couple of hours drinking and chatting with friends, forgot to take any photos today.

26/1/18

Went for a few tram rides before alighting at Chorlton. I previously visited some pubs here in January 2012. See here.
