A four-day celebration of some of the finest beers and breweries in Manchester is happening at The Crown & Kettle in just a few weeks time.

The ever-popular pub, known as the ‘pride of Ancoats’ after its 2020 restoration saw it become a much-loved community hub once again, is gearing up to host The Big Pour MCR from Thursday 30 September – Sunday 3 October.

This highly-anticipated four-day celebration will shine a light on some of the finest craft beer and ale produced in the city.

The Big Pour promises to be the city’s biggest exclusively Manc-brewed beer event to date.

Beer lovers can expect a specially-selected range of over 42 different beers from 14 of Manchester’s best independent breweries.

There’ll be limited availability and new beers on pour each day.

With samples of everything from sours to stouts, pilsners and pales, and everything in between, as The Big Pour offers an accessible introduction to Manchester’s thriving beer scene and visitors can also discover their new favourite beer via ‘Big Pour Bingo’ for a chance to win a whole host of prizes.

Some of the prizes on offer include beer-filled tote bags, brewery merch, beer hampers, and tours from participating breweries.

If you’re after a bite to eat to accompany the beers and ales, homegrown street food favourites MIRA will be slinging out saucy Neapolitan sandwiches, pizza sliders and proper fries to help soak up the booze during the day.

When the sun goes down in Ancoats, Magic Island, Alive & Amplified and Reform Radio DJ’s will also be taking to the decks to soundtrack this action-packed weekender.
