THE four microbreweries and one beer distributor that occupy the one mile stretch of railway arches between Piccadilly and Ardwick stations in Manchester will be opening directly to the public from Saturday, July 25 with the Piccadilly Beer Mile.
Track Brewing Company, Alphabet Brewing Company, Cave Direct, Chorlton Brewing Company and Squawk Brewing Company all plan to sell their beer straight to the public on Saturday afternoons. Some of these will be open sporadically due to other commitments, and some every week.
Manchester is fast developing a reputation for being the home of some of the most exciting artisanal beers currently in the UK. This will be an opportunity to taste beers brewery-fresh, and talk to their creators directly about the brewing process. In addition Cave Direct will showcase some of the most highly regarded beers from London and the South of England.
“Having been involved in the genesis of the Bermondsey Beer Mile in London, I’ve always seen the potential of a similar thing happening in Manchester, says Mike Marcus (pictured above at work) of Chorlton Brewing Co. “ I’m really excited to be part something that will become increasingly vibrant as other food and drink producers start taking part.”
The five stops along the Piccadilly Beer Mile are located at the following addresses:
Track – 5 Sheffield Street, M1 2ND
Alphabet (and Shindigger) – 99 North Western Street, M12 6JL
Cave Direct – 75 North Western Street, M12 6DY
Chorlton – 69 North Western Street, M12 6DX
Squawk – 4 Tonge Street M12 6LY
