BEER is as much a part of Christmas as, well, wine, brandy, sherry, cognac, eggnog, nan's bum trumpet... you get the idea.
"A dedicated beer event has been an idea since we started Guerrilla Eats just over two years ago."
Christmas is the true season of excess. The one time of year when we can all give Atkins, Actimel and kale the big Vs and just blast it. That's what Jebus would have wanted.
And indulgence doesn't get much more indulgent than the final weekend before Christmas Day. Whether it's the scramble in the Boots 3for2 aisles or the need to forget exactly where you told your boss to stuff that wine cork at the work's Xmas do, the likelihood is you're going to knock a fair few back on this merry weekend.
Guerrilla Eats, Fairbairn Building
With that in mind, Manchester's original street food party organisers - stationed in Ancoats' Fairbairn Building every Saturday until 20 December - are bringing together 20+ keg and cask lines from some of the North West's finest craft brewers for a Christmas do focussed on the barley pop.
Friday 19 December (5pm-11pm, advance ticket £4) will see the Guerrilla's host the special Xmas Beer Bash, offering up craft brews from Magic Rock Brewing, Redwillow, Quantum, First Chop Brewing Arm, and plenty more...
