Albert’s Schloss has announced an incredible “one pound pints” offer this week as a way of ensuring no beer goes to waste over lockdown.
As the country gears up to enter into a national lockdown once again from Thursday, Manchester’s “Bavarian pleasure palace” Albert’s Schloss – found on Peter Street in the heart of the city centre – is also preparing in the best way it knows how.
£1 pints with every “substantial meal”.
And after it was estimated that nearly 50 million pints of beer went to waste across the UK during the first national lockdown, this is probably for the best.
Announcing the unmissable deal via social media this morning, Albert’s Schloss said: “Today til end of play Wednesday, we’ll be serving £1 pints to #WasteNotWantNot.
“Tour the Taps to stop it going to waste,
“You can also take away a one litre growler of your favourite bier for only £2.50, just ask your server.”

If that didn’t already sound good enough, this deal is available on every draught bier until they’re all gone.
So, if you fancy heading down to Peter Street this week to make the most of the offer, then Albert’s Schloss will be open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week from 4pm – 10pm until doors temporarily close once again for the next few weeks.
Luckily, Albert’s Schloss’ ‘Eat Out to Drink Out’ deal means you can order a range of ‘Bier Food’ items – which are slightly lighter versions of the classic Cook Haus dishes – each weekday, and pair it with a drink for just £12, two drinks and a meal for £16, or push the boat out with three drinks and dinner for £20.
To avoid disappointment, you are strongly advised to make a booking in advance and you can do so via the Albert’s Schloss website here.

Nostalgic ready-to-drink Breezer makes UK return after a decade
Daisy Jackson
An iconic ready-to-drink favourite has launched back into the UK – oh yes, Breezer is back.
First launched in the 1990s, Breezers – then pitched as an ‘alcopop’ – were a staple on dancefloors and at barbecues right across the UK.
And now Bacardi has decided to bring these delicious, fruity, easy-drinking bottles back to British shores.
There are three new flavours to try as Breezers return to your fridges – Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime, and Crisp Watermelon.
And Breezer launched back into Manchester last night with a suitably memorable party, turning a spot in the Northern Quarter into a corner shop.
The ‘local Cornerbop’ was stacked with your usual essentials, plus shelf after shelf of these colourful glass ready-to-drink bottles.

The Breezer relaunch party saw Tarsza and Rennie Peters spinning nostalgic anthems with a modern twist at a pop-up party in a corner shop.
Steve Young, business unit director for Bacardi in the UK & Ireland, said: “We know there is a lot of love for Breezer in the UK, and we are confident a new generation of consumers will fall in love with the new Breezer.
“RTDs are booming, however, the Flavoured Alcoholic Beverages category could do with a bit more excitement. By bringing back Breezer we’re definitely putting the fruity taste into FAB.”
The iconic ready-to-drink classic is back – and better than ever.
Drinks prices for Manchester Oasis gigs announced – and you’ll be pleasantly surprised
Daisy Jackson
The prices of drinks at Heaton Park for the five huge Manchester Oasis shows have been released in advance.
With the Gallagher brothers reuniting on stage in their hometown for the first time this weekend (and then again next week), it’s a huge moment for our city.
Those lucky enough to snag tickets have already forked out a small fortune to witness this moment in history (still scarred from the dynamic pricing debacle).
And most of us were probably bracing to spend another small fortune on beers at the Oasis Manchester gigs.
But you might be pleasantly surprised at the drinks prices up at Heaton Park for Oasis Live ’25.
It’s now been confirmed that pints of lager and cider will be just £6.50.
Before you turn your nose up, remember that pints at our two arenas – the AO Arena and Co-op Live are now sitting around the £9 mark.
Prices for other drinks, like wine and spirits, we’ll have to wait until Friday to see.
Heaton Park will also be the home of the ‘largest beer garden’ and the longest bars in the city for the Oasis reunion.
With a major heatwave predicted for the first shows, fans are being encouraged to stay hydrated (on WATER, not beer, please).
Ticket-holders will be allowed to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml in with you, but it must be collapsible plastic.
Solid plastic and metal containers will be rejected on safety grounds.
There’s a free water point on site where you can fill up your bottles again.
Oasis will perform at Heaton Park in Manchester on 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 July.
