Manchester Craft Beer Festival has announced the full line-up for its debut event on 23rd-24th July in Depot Mayfield.
On the liquid side of things, beer in all forms will be celebrated with over 50 world class breweries pouring hundreds of delicious beers from sour beers and IPA’s to low ABV beers.
Manchester Craft Beer Festival has partnered with KANTINA to offer the perfect food pairings to match the stellar line-up of breweries. The epic line-up of restaurant collaborations include:
