Event: Barrel store beer tasting at Cloudwater
Cloudwater Brew Co are opening up their doors in the manner of Willy Wonka for a barrel store tasting. They have large numbers of beers in barrels, maturing or souring away as we carry on with day to day life. In contrast to beers produced in steel, barrel-aged beers take on a unique life and flavour of their own. This is a Manchester Beer Week special event and the first barrel store tasting has sold out. These two new sessions includes beers and natural wines.
Wed 15 Jun, Cloudwater Brew Co, 13 Sheffield Street, Manchester, M1 2ND. Tel: 0161 661 5943, 5.30pm / 7.15pm, £15, www.eventbrite.co.uk
