The forgotten drink in the craft beer revolution becomes the star of its very own festival this month. We Are Lager is a four-day celebration of the world’s finest lagers taking place at Upper Campfield Market from Thursday 4 to Sunday 7 April 2019.

Lucky Saint will be serving up their own brand of alcohol free beer while street food comes courtesy of El Taquero, Dim Sum Su. Get Chucked (gourmet burgers), The Mac Shac and Off The Wheaten Track. Other attractions include an all-star DJ line up running throughout the weekend that wouldn’t look out of place at a summer music festival, curated by Manchester’s longest running club night Funkademia.
