Independent Manchester Beer Convention (Indy Man Beer Con/IMBC) is a world class showcase for the best breweries from the UK and beyond. Taking over the stunning surrounds of the Grade II listed, architectural gem Victoria Baths for its 8th year from Thursday 3rd to Sunday 6th October 2019, IMBC brings together the most progressive, forward thinking breweries from across the UK, Europe and USA for a multisensory, headlong, hop- forward beer extravaganza.

Quotes:
“A joyous event held in the crumbling splendour of the Victoria Baths” – The Guardian
“Indy Man Beer Con has rewritten the rules on what a British beer festival looks like.” – Financial Times
“If you love beer and/or historic architecture be sure to go at least once – if not every year” – Sophie Atherton, Beer Sommelier
“The most forward thinking beer festival seen in the UK, combining the most exciting beers from the UK, served by the brewers themselves, in an amazing venue.” – Evening Brews
“Nothing like this has ever been done in the UK, a lot of UK festivals go for volume and not overall quality, whereas this is all about picking the best possible beers even though there is a smaller number of them. This is about intimacy, it’s about atmosphere and creating the right sort of vibe to enjoy the beer in.” – Summer Wine Brewery
A little background: Independent Manchester Beer Convention is brought to you by the team behind Common, Port Street Beer House & The Beagle. IMBC came about through being inspired by the UK’s craft beer movement and frustration that beer festivals in their current form weren’t really representative of this exciting and dynamic part of the industry. We wanted to put on an event that has amazing beer (obviously) but was open-minded, inclusive and modern.

KIDS & DOGS:
Children are very welcome to attend IMBC before 7pm on any given session accompanied by a guardian. Dog-wise, guide dogs are welcome but the rest of our canine friends have to stay at home. Victoria Baths is an old building with lots of nooks and crannies. It will also most likely be a busy, noisy environment and we don’t want any dogs to get trodden on or scared. Same goes for kids so keep ’em close!
