MEET POMONA ISLAND / NZ IPA LAUNCH
Friday 16th March 2018 / 6pm-late
The Beagle / free entry
We are excited to be joined by Pomona Island at The Beagle for an evening of fresh beers from one of the newest local breweries. Pomona Island, operating out of Salford’s Media City, have been drawing a lot of attention since their inception in late 2017 on the back of some great cask and keg beers.
Expect a spread of Pomona Island pouring on cask and keg, and we will also be launching Pomona’s NZ IPA.
Line-up coming soon. Here’s what Pomona Island have to say about themselves…
“Pomona Island Brew Co is a collaboration between Gaz (formerly Marble), James (formerly Tempest – last year’s Scottish brewery of the year) and Nick and Ryan (The Gas Lamp). Nick, Ryan and Gaz are long-time friends as well as enjoyers and purveyors of great beer. James has come on board, and journeyed the not inconsiderable distance from Scotland to Salford, to be the head brewer. You’ll be able to find our beer shortly in the Gas Lamp, of course, but hopefully all over Manchester, Salford and the North West. We’ve got some big, hop-forward American style pales for starters, but expect a big range of both progressive and traditional styles.
The name is inspired by the Island that bridges the cities of Salford, where we’re based, and Manchester. We always hoped it would be returned to its former glories as a park, but it’s being developed and they’re changing the name so we thought we’d keep it alive (steal it!)”

I MISSED THE BEER CON
IMBC 16 COLLAB TAP TAKEOVER
Wednesday 30th November 2016 / 4pm – late
Keg tap takeover of ALL the Indy Man Beer Con 2016 collaborations. Definitely the best ones yet. Expect a Vimto IPA (Siren x IMBC), an old fashioned inspired red IPA (Cloudwater x IMBC), blends aplenty and more. The loose theme of the collaborations was wood – in so much as the beers that were brewed/blended all have some kind of barrel ageing/barrel conditioned element. Anyway, they’re great. Come down and relive them or taste them for the first time!
