2013 our best year yet?!? Hopefully we have wrapped up all the best bits in this digital documentary made lovingly by Asta Films.
We hope it captures Indy Man Beer Con in all it’s glory, featuring brewers, punters, beer, live music and more.
Special thanks to all the people involved in making this short film and extra special thanks for those who attended, maybe you have a staring role in our film?
Until next year, CHEERS! See you in the baths.
IMBC 2013 is now well and truly over, we have just about recovered and are already looking forward to next year. We would like to thank each one of you personally for purchasing a ticket to this year’s festival and supporting our super cool beer festival, we hope your enjoyed it as much as we did.
Four out of five sessions completely sold out and well over 3,000 people came through the doors of the wondrous Victoria Baths, we hope you all had a pleasant experience.
As always we are looking to develop our ideas and are interested in people’s thoughts about IMBC, especially yours! There may have been a couple of tiny hiccups, no one is perfect. We would like to look into how we can make things even better for your IMBC experience. So please email [email protected] with your comments.
We are also offering a donation scheme to help Victoria Baths with their ongoing regeneration project, you can send any unwanted tokens to : Victoria Baths Donation Scheme, Port Street Beer House, Manchester M1 2EQ OR drop them in person to Port Street Beer House.
Special thanks one again to everyone involved with IMBC 2013, especially all the Victoria Baths staff, brewers, volunteers, supervisors, musicians, food traders and most importantly you for supporting our festival.
See you all soon – TEAM IMBC

2012 was so much fun! We decided to document it all in a lovely video made by our good friends Asta Films – it features interviews with the brewers, punters and we hope it gives you a great picture of what to expect this year!
Here’s to 2013 – see you back at Victoria Baths for plenty more beer!
As it comes towards the end of the year we are looking forward to IMBC returning in 2013, we have been busy compiling our wish list of brewers for next year and will be announcing session times in the next week or two. The dates for 2013 are Thursday 10th through to Sunday 13th October.
In the meantime here are some lovely quotes about IMBC 2012 that we missed a few months ago :
