Summer Beer Thing 2023

Manchester’s Summer Beer Thing festival is back for 2023 and it’s bigger than ever. Tickets have been released for the celebration, set to take over the Kampus garden neighbourhood from Friday 30 June – Sunday 2 July.

As well as the latest seasonal and regional beers from some of the UK’s best breweries, for the first time visitors will also be able to indulge in ‘festival specials’ - one-off drinks created just for festival-goers by each of Kampus’ indie bars and restaurants.

With DJs bringing the garden party vibes all weekend long, beer taps will be nestled through the lush gardens, offering hoppy, session, fruits and sours amongst others.

The summer fixture is the sister festival to Indy Man Beer Con, staged at Victoria Baths. Since starting in Manchester in 2017, it’s gone from strength-to-strength, attracting thousands of beer lovers eager to try the latest brews, as well as those new to craft ale looking for an accessible way to get involved and try something different.

Kampus, the canalside neighbourhood developed by Capital&Centric and HBD, is enjoying a summer run of residencies, new openings and new menus from established independent traders. Summer Beer Thing will this year collaborate with the likes of Nell’s, Great North Pie, Seven Bro7hers, Red Light, Madre and Three Little Words to make 2023 the biggest line-up yet.
