Craft Beer Tour Manchester will have your typical stout drinker finding an IPA they love

Whether you consider yourself a beer connoisseur or just love having a pint with your friends, Craft Beer Tour Manchester will have your typical stout drinker finding an IPA they love, and your friend who prefers ‘fruity drinks’ becoming obsessed with a dark porter. The tours happen every Saturday and start at 1:30pm at a chosen venue in the Northern Quarter. They last around 3 hours but who’s to stop you from carrying on the party afterwards?
A large emphasis is put on the local nature of each beer and brewer. Expect to visit a range of places from crowdfunded breweries that have recently taken off, to age old establishments.
