10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Goodshaw

"Unusually colourful (its orange banquettes and Perspex back-bar give it a look of a 1980s Top of the Pops set), this Dale Street tap-house serves a mix of quality guest beers (Wild Beer, Mikeller, Burning Sky), and Beatnikz’ hop-forward brews, such as I Smash Citra and Generation IPA. The weekday cask ale deals are notable (recently pie ‘n’ a pint £5, Mon/Tues), as is Beatnikz’s ability to bag high-profile guests for its meet-the-brewer events. For instance Arbor Ales and US star Modern Times. Pint from £3.70, beatnikzrepublic.com"

"Beatnikz microbrewery is located in a railway arch in the Green Quarter, and their taproom used to be too. But they closed it last year and moved to a shiny new bar in the Northern Quarter where they’ve just introduced a beer slushie machine. Head in to enjoy their core range of beers."

"Offering tables of up to six inside their Castlefield bar, guests can take advantage of £10 tickets, which include a free pitcher of Heineken or Coors. All matches are being screened, and the venue also airs live football outside of the championship, too. When the match is finished, enjoy the bar’s huge outdoor space, which is packed full of tables so guests can soak up the sun with a beer."

"If you were worried about not being able to find canal-side dining in Manchester, never fear, we’ve found another!. Barca offers lovely views of the canal from Catalan Square, with a new extra-large barbecue luxury seating. In addition to the high-quality food and drink, they’ve also been known to host live music outside, so you may never leave."

"Then, Sea Life Manchester Aquarium is an amazing place to visit to get into marine life. You get to see many beautiful species from starfish to seahorses to sharks and many more. Come and witness these beautiful creatures in the crystal clear waters!"

"Circular in design, it stands resolutely between the Midland Hotel (where Mr’s Rolls and Royce developed the car) and Manchester Town Hall. The galleries and exhibit halls flank the outside of the structure. Just downriver from the slightly more musically-famous Liverpool, other offspring of Manchester’s illustrious musical history include Morrissey, Joy Division and the Stone Roses."
