00:00Hello and welcome to Manchester World. My name is Theo Houston Betts and today I'm at Depot Mayfield

00:04for something that I've been looking forward to for a very long time and that's because Manchester

00:08Craft Beer Festival has made it back to the city. Now We Are Beer launched this event. They do it

00:14in a couple of different places each year made up of a bunch of local and national and international

00:20vendors. You have a massive range of awesome beers. We're going to go in and talk to some of the

00:23vendors, understand a little bit about why Manchester is such a great place for an event

00:27like this and you know maybe we'll sample one or two of them ourselves. So let's go in.

00:34So we're inside the Craft Beer Festival now. On your way in you get given these little glasses which

00:40the vendors will fill up with their your choice of beer as you go along. A massive range of vendors

00:45here, a massive range of beers to try. So without further ado let's dive straight in. Now there's

00:51lots to show you and lots to talk about too. So while I show you some of the footage from the festival

00:56itself we're going to talk to some of the vendors who'd made their way to the festival. Try and get

01:00some more focus on their brilliant breweries and cider companies.

01:04So we're a cider maker. We're based down in the south of England in Somerset. We make real

01:12cider, quality cider, 100% fresh pressed apples and we're trying to push forward the craft cider

01:19category. You've already got some amazing craft beer breweries up in Manchester. People like

01:26Cloudwater and people like that. So Manchester is a very happening city. Bristol where we're

01:31from is Manchester feels like it's kind of very progressive and got a real kind of progressive

01:39view on things like beer and cider. So for us being in Manchester was really important.

01:45And you know what we've seen so far is really encouraging. It's a great place.

01:49It's amazing to be here because there's a lot of companies here that I didn't know about.

01:53I just feel like trying their beer and speaking to them. I mean I can connect to them with them.

01:58And you know you don't know what we're having in the future but it's not something that's really important.

02:03You know it opens it up to a smaller brand. It opens up to a new audience and that's super cool.

02:10So as a company the mission is A Love Letter to Brixton and that's what makes it so special.

02:16So that's all for now guys. Hopefully you've seen some of the amazing offerings that this festival has.

02:45It will be circling around the country again and you will have a chance next year to come along.

02:50I can't recommend it enough. There's some great vendors in there with some great great beers.

02:54So without further ado I'm going to go in and I'm going to enjoy them.

02:57Thank you very much for watching Manchester World. We'll see you again soon.
