The Runaway Brewery

A wonky video of what's on the taps tomorrow .....12pm -8pm.

Brewing another fruity number this week - with the guys from @barsixsandbach. Lemons picked last Thursday from groves in Italy. Freshly squeezed and zested today in Manchester. Smells Amazing!

Tap Room Open this Saturday 12 - 8 if you fancy a beer. We've no tours or tastings on this weekend, so we should be a beacon of calm riding on a sea of... yeah, whatevs.

Tomorrow! ...

CAN YOU HELP US? Some a-hole stole our van yesterday morning. Van recovered in Blackley, but all of the beer we brewed with @BrewWild to raise money for Manchester Beekeepers Association was stolen. If anyone is offered bottles that look like this... please let us know & share as far & wide as you can.

The Runaway Brewery are hosting local wine heroes Reserve Wines for a special beer, cheese and wine tasting at the Runaway Brewery Tap.
Professional wino and French cheese buff Nic (Reserve Wines) and cheese mad brewer Mark (Runaway Brewery) are out to share their love of the grape, the grain and the curd. The tasting will show off some classic, and more contemporary combinations, from dry Saisons to barrel aged Brown Ales, from big Burgundies to sweet red wines, from aged Gouda to Stinking Bishops - what these guys don’t know about cheese with wine and beer isn’t worth knowing, so expect a fun and informative evening.
The ticket price includes entry to the event and all of your cheese. Beer and wine pairings will be available on the night by the glass or flight for an additional charge.

Runaway to Beermoth is a brewery led, guided tour of all things beer, taking in four of Manchester's best beer venues, where we'll share the secrets behind extracting great flavour from four simple ingredients: malt, hops, water and yeast.
The ticket price includes: - A guided tour of the beer and brewing process at The Runaway Brewery; - A guided tasting of some extraordinary beers at Beermoth;... - All of the beer featured as part of the tour (at least 1 in each venue) and the tasting at the Beermoth cellar; - The esteemed company of at least one of our brewers for the evening.
The ticket price also includes a charitable donation of £2 which goes to local homelessness charity Lifeshare.

Went out of our way to visit and weren't dissapointed.

Great beer lovely people .

Will be back .

We came yesterday for a stag do, fantastic beer and great tour

These are great people. This is a fab place. The beer is also very very good.

Still here after the brewery tour! Very relaxed /informative host who was happy to answer all questions whether it was runaway related on not! Fine selection of beers to try on the tour and also afterwards! Definitely recommended! Manchester needs more like this 5*****

My friend held part of his stag do here on the 29th July and the brewery tour we had (alongside the beers) was absolutely excellent. A lovely brewery making cracking beer with a fantastic tap room. Could not praise highly enough.

Lovely people lovely beer. So many lemons! Much hammer. Terrace 10/10!

Love this spot, love this beer, love that brewer. Thanks Mark

Just a fabulous tap conversion, with absolutely ACE brewery fresh beer.



The Mayfield Pale was singing a sweet sweet song yesterday!

Informative and friendly tour and best of all great beer 🍺👍

I booked an afternoon here to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday since he loves his beer. Really wasn't sure what to expect for only £12.50 each and we travelled a good 90 minutes to get there so I was crossing my fingers for something special.... and it was! What a fantastic place! We were 20 minutes late on account of the traffic but the team were so kind to wait for us as there was a group of other people on our booking also (they, too, we're very understanding). We were told all about the brewery, how it came to be, and the people behind it - very lovely to have this intro and hear about the story behind the business. Mark continued on to explain the ins and outs of all things beer - how it's made, the different kinds, what kind of ingredients they use and why. As someone who is not particularly interested in beer, I found it extremely fascinating so my dad was like a kid in a candy shop. The 4 very different beers we drank during Mark's talk were all included in the price and very unique tastes - there is certainly a lot to be said for the creativity of these brewers! To top of a wonderful tour, Mark and John presented my dad with two as-of-yet unreleased beers as a 'happy birthday' - something that meant a great deal to him and me. These guys literally made his day; it was so heartwarming for me to see, and for £12.50, you would be absolutely MAD not to give them a visit. Brilliant day out, brilliant beer, brilliant blokes. Thanks so so much x

Great tour and great beer 🍻

Great story. Better beer �

Great place, great beer, had a couple of pints of Kaka - Squark collaboration with Squark brewing company, fabulous drink full of flavour. Best of all excellent toilet facilities especially for the girls unlike at Blakjacks around the corner. Well done, we will be back!

Great brewery. Excellent produce and very knowledgeable staff.

Exceptional beer served in a smashing environment with top notch service.

Did the Saturday lunch tour yesterday. I would recommend it to anyone. Really enjoyable experience - the staff are really knowledge and approachable �

Delicious beer and a great tour, everyone had a fantastic time. Many thanks!
