Not just another Manchester brewery: Wander Beyond Brewing is now open in Piccadilly

Launching late last year with a special brewtap, Wander Beyond Brewing’s beers have been popping up in tastemakers hands thanks to with their whimsical design work and some damn tasty flavours  (a 5% milkshake IPA, yes please!). It’s tough to stick out in the crowded market place of Manchester brewing but Wander Beyond have taken the novel approach of making some pretty jazzy bobble hats to make sure their beer drinkers are protected from the elements. Keep an eye out for more fashion, more beverages along the lines of current crop which includes ‘Into the Woods’ an 11 percent ABV red wine barrel aged Imperial Stout, and one-off events and brewtaps in their Piccadilly home.
