Time Out Manchester's regular beer column: Beer Here Now

It’s nearly the end of another year – and what a year it’s been for beer. With new bars opening their doors and breweries arriving in the city, 2015 was a great year for beer drinkers in Manchester. But there’s much more to come in 2016, so here’s a look at just some of the events already announced to look forward to next year.

The railway arches near Piccadilly Station are already home to a number of breweries, but two more will be joining them shortly. Here’s what you need to know about them – and a look at some of the festive beer events taking place over the coming weeks. 

Manchester is in the midst of a beer revolution and to celebrate the city’s brewing heritage and vibrant pub scene, a new event is coming to the city next year – Manchester Beer Week.

Beermoth have been at the forefront of Manchester’s craft beer boom since they began trading in 2013. Their Tib Street store has become a mecca for beer lovers as a result of their extensive range, enthusiastic staff and regular tasting events. But soon the team will have the chance to serve up draft beer alongside bottles at their new café and bar, Café Beermoth.

It may be Manchester’s most exciting beer festival this weekend, but there’s plenty of other beery things taking place if you’re not off to Indy Man Beer Con.
