The new Marble Brewery taproom, Salford

One of Manchester’s most iconic breweries has a new home – and it’s not within the city of Manchester. Marble, established more than 20 years ago in the back room of the Marble Arch pub on Rochdale Road have moved their brewery from a railway arch down the hill from the pub over to neighbouring city Salford and, with a new bigger home comes the opportunity for a taproom within the brewery.

Independent Salford Beer Festival to return for 2016

One of Greater Manchester’s newest beer festivals is to return for 2016 – and will feature keg beer for the first time.

The Independent Salford Beer Festival 2016 will take place October 21 and 22 at Saint Sebastian’s Community Centre, with sessions running 11.30am-4.30pm and 6-11pm on both days.

Organiser Jim (aka BeersManchester) promises a variety of styles will be on offer so there’ll be something for everyone. The main room will focus on cask beers from Northern breweries, while the other room will feature around ten keg beers – and there will also be a couple of collaborations especially for the event.

Like last year, it’ll be ticket only and tickets will be released either August 1 or September 1.
