It’s not all about hoppy IPAs this craft beer revolution. One of Manchester’s canniest niche brewers is Mike Marcus of Chorlton Brewing Co, who specialises in sour and wild fermented beers. Cult beers such as Dark Matter, a 7.3% Imperial Black Gose style beer infused with Belgian dark candi sugar and single origin cocoa beans have won him national acclaim among the beer cognoscenti. Hence Chorlton’s third National Tap Takeover at multiple venues around the country from Friday 26 January to Sunday 28. It’s a perfect way for the curious to discover the delights of these forbidding sounding small batch tipples inspired by German traditions. Here’s an online map to show which taps will be serving the Chorlton range (brewed in an Ardwick arch). Local outlets include The Pilcrow, Piccadilly Tap, Bundobust, Ancoats General Store and Wigan Central. For more beer, food and drink news, click here.
