A three-day beer garden festival is coming to Manchester this weekend

Swanky city centre neighbourhood Kampus is set to be transformed into a weekend of food, music and beer with the return of Summer Beer Thing.

The annual festival found life in 2017 at Sadler’s Yard, and each year welcomes over 3,000 visitors keen to try new and unique brews.

And now, Summer Beer Thing is coming back for 2022, bringing with it a whole host of local and global breweries, as well as a selection of some of Manchester’s most celebrated food traders.

There will be a whole variety of beers, lagers, craft ales and stouts for visitors to try this year, with different bars dedicated to hoppy, session, fruit and sour beers.
