A massive free party is taking over Manchester’s Piccadilly Beer Mile
A mile-long beer festival celebrating Manchester’s independent breweries is coming to Piccadilly Trading Estate next month.
Four of Manchester’s finest brewers are teaming up to host a massive free party along the city centre’s industrial beer mile.
Taking place on Saturday 13 May, Sureshot, Cloudwater, Track, and Balance are each inviting a guest brewery, an independent food vendor and live DJS down to their taprooms for a riotous all-day block party.
Kicking off at 12pm, punters can move freely between each taproom – collecting a stamp card designed by artist David Bailey at each.
At its upstairs taproom, award-winning brewery Cloudwater will host a Friends and Family sour bar with food from Isca wines in Levenshulme and music from Andy Votel and friends.

Meanwhile, Sureshot Brewery, founded by former Cloudwater boss and mash time legend James Campbell, will host a tap takeover from Burning Sky Brewery and serve food from Lily’s Vegetarian Deli.
Final brewery Balance will also be running a pop-up bar at Sureshot throughout the day with guest beers from Torn Plant, which produces modern minimal intervention ciders and blends from the north west of England, outside of Delamere Forest. On the decks, it will welcome 2 DJs including the Wizard King.
