Offbeat Brewery

After a crazy Friday

It’s been a lovely Saturday. With Bex, Stacey and David keeping the bar and numerous beer changes under control I’ve had a lovely evening chatting with friends and customers. It’s been a truly fantabulous leaving party weekend and so happy so many people came to share it with us.

See you for a beer some place soon 😉

Day 2 of the leaving party

It all starts back up again at 2pm through to 11pm today.

What a crazy night that was last night, I should have leaving parties more often!

Huge thank yous to everyone for their patience in waiting and to all the friends who jumped behind the bar to help out, you’re all truly awesome.

Fab music from The Crutwells, a fantastic band well worth following. Plus a big thank you to the local CAMRA…

The Offbeat Leaving Party

We’ve put various snippets online about our leaving party but I thought a summary of everything on the website would be a good plan.

#FirstyFriday – it’s today!

I’m not quite sure how we’ve got through this week and got the place back together but about all that remains for me to do later is get the tables and chairs setup and figure out how to assemble a flat pack balloon storm trooper!

It’s 4th May, May the 4th be with you, also known as Star Wars Day. A donation in the charity pot for the Berries, Beans & Beer festival charity, Papyrus, could well…

Grommet’s in the house! Saturday shenanigans and a load of giggles. Read on...

It’s kind of a quiz and not a quiz with some great prizes and some truly awful prizes but either way it’s going to be a lot of fun when grOmmet is with us Saturday evening! The bar is open 5 to 10pm and the shenanigans start about 7pm but you can turn up and join in at any point.

As the man himself puts it,

“An evening of Antics! with local performer and entertainer, “grOmmet the Balloon…

It’s the first Friday of the month so a fab night of live music, great beer and the best gin list in #Crewe lies this way...

So it’s #FirstyFriday. Sun is shining, beers are all set to go and the Blue Yellows are singing their socks off from about 8pm.

We’ve also got some of our gins on at half price while we clear the cupboards out and sort the lineup out for Berries, Beans & Beer – some have a bit left, some you might be lucky to get a couple of pours out of but we can guarantee they’re all great gins!

We open 4pm…

#FinalFriday live music tonight from Rivers & Kidd

It’s #FinalFriday and live music comes to us tonight in Crewe from Rivers and Kidd.

A steampunk theme with some of their own tunes and covers too; it promises to be a great night and a great warm up for Crewe Steampunk Convivial at the end of May.

As usual the bar is fully stocked with beer, gin, wine, rum, cider and soft drinks and we open from 4pm to 11pm with the band kicking things off about…

It’s Almost St Patrick’s Day with live music from The Rogues tonight #Crewe. Taproom opens 4 - 11pm, band on at 8, great beers from Dublin & whisky from Belfast
