Due to the quantity drank at the Whisky and Haggis night Jen's birthday turned out to be very relaxed (compared to last year). After a trip to the Christmas Markets in Manchester a few pints in the Tap topped off the day!!!
The Bank Top lot braved the cold weather to attend a Whisky and Haggis tasting evening (some of us managed to get breakfast as well). An eventful evening in a lovely home filled with food, alcohol and only a little blood shed! A result all round.
I've started my Christmas shopping and whilst checking out ebay I came across this. It had to be added to the blog, proper made me laugh, can not believe that a Bank Top Beer mat would sell!
Anyone for a game of dominoes? Bank Top Staff know how to pass the time with style! There was some definite cheating going on during this game at the Brewery Tap!
Bank Top Brewery staff headed to two bonfires this weekend on both Friday and Saturday evening. And in the usual fashion a pint of ale was had along with brilliant food and fireworks.
The Bank Top Brewery Team headed down to the Bolton Beer Festival last night. Lots of ales (ciders and wines) where sampled producing lot of smiles! A fantastic night!
Jen has spent some of today producing the adverts to go in this years brochure for Bolton's Beer Festival in aid of Bolton's Lads and Girls Club. From Wednesday 13th October to Saturday the 16th, Bolton's Rugby Club will be hosting this event.
This Bank Holiday weekend was celebrated with a charity beer festival. Despite the bursts of rain hundreds of you found the time to join us at Dunscar Golf Club. With ales from all over the north west and a number of ciders and wines everyones tastes where covered.
Bank Top Brewery was host to a charity event last week. The charity in question was Paws for Kids. This charity aims to support women, children and their pets who suffer from domestic violence in the North West. Paws for Kids helps to provide a fresh start for the women involved by offering the
"opportunity to become part of a meaningful, nurturing programme aiding the development of emotional and relationship skills."
The evening consisted of a brewery trip, games, introductions to a snake and drinking! Paws for Kids is helped by your donations, check out their website:
If ale is not quite your thing the Tap's new wine list may be more to your taste! Their new suppliers Morgenrot Chevaliers are keeping them topped up with a refreshing Pinot Grigio from Italy, a full bodied Merlot from Chile, as well as a Fruity Zinfandel from the USA and many more.
As it is said (just like every year) this year is supposed to be the hottest in a long time so what better way to celebrate this than with your own barrel of Bank Top Ale.
An event was held in just that way on Sunday, with the BBQ of Katie, Kev and Nigel where a barrel of Old Slapper quenched the thirst of the rabble above.
Having had Bank Top Brewery Tap open for a couple of weeks now people have had time to formulate opinions of the place. Although many kind and positive word have been said about the Tap one has stuck in Dave's mind and he has asked me to pass it onto you all and this is it
