Manchester

The Main Event

Instead of just "grabbing a drink", why not take on adventure that combines great craft beer, hidden gems and a playful challenge into one unforgettable experience.

You’ll visit three of Manchester’s best independent beer spots, each carefully chosen for doing things their own way. From thoughtfully curated tap lists to venues full of personality and character, every stop offers a completely different take on what craft beer can be. This isn’t about sticking to one style or one flavour profile, it’s about discovering the full range of the city’s beer scene, one stop at a time. And if you’re not drinking alcohol, don’t worry, craft non-alcoholic beers are available at every venue, so everyone can get involved.

Your adventure begins with a series of clues sent straight to your phone via WhatsApp. To move forward, you’ll need to solve them in the real world, with answers hidden in Manchester’s streets, buildings and tiny details you’d normally walk straight past. Each correct solution unlocks your next destination, guiding you deeper into the city and towards your next well-earned stop.

Along the way, you’ll discover three carefully selected independent venues, each with its own atmosphere, beer selection and story.

There’s also a competitive twist. The experience is timed, so you’ll be racing against the clock as you make your way through the city, aiming for a spot on the leaderboard. But the timer pauses at each venue, so you can sit back, relax and properly enjoy your drink before heading off on your next clue.

Perfect for birthdays, group gifts, date nights or anyone who loves discovering new places, the Craft Beer Treasure Hunt turns a simple drink into a full-on adventure through the city.
