The Slip Inn Battle of the Breweries Photoblog

Here are a few photos from the excellent Battle of the Breweries at The superb Slip Inn, Clementhorpe, York. A great event surrounded by great people & great beer made for a memorable day & credit to Paul & his staff at The Slip for ensuring the beers were all available via handpull & all on fine form too.

This pub is a real hidden gem just outside the City walls. The photos tell a little of the story but if you'd like to read more check out Nick's post about the day over at The Beer Prole.

I'd just like to say thanks once again to everyone who attended & made this great concept a real winner, lets hope others replicate it too!

Marble vs SWB The Slip Inn, York. June 25th.

Saturday June 25th sees a new phenomena in the beer world roll into York. Rest easy there trooper, it's not a continuation of York's historic battle ridden past, it's the beer equivalent! Except this time round it will be a much more benevolent affair, a jovial afternoon with a bar full of ours & the legendary Marble beers from Manchester.

With at least seven beers from each brewery individually paired off in competition & it will be your job to choose the winners in the face a off. On the day I can tell you the beers from us will be:-

SWB: Zenith, Gambit, Odyssey, Polestar, Rouge-Hop, Barista, Diablo & our new West Coast IPA '7 C's'.

Thus far the Marble beers confirmed will be:-

Marble: Pint, Manchester Bitter, Best, Lagonda, Chocolate, Utility 3 & possibly the Marble & Fullers John collaboration ESB.

There may also be a few other little goodies but you'll have to come & see us to find out!

We will be there on the day from noon & will be joined by Colin & from Marble, so come & enjoy a day in our company, we look forward to seeing you there.

You really don't want to miss this day, it is sure to be a cracker especially if the weather plays ball, a summer afternoon in the historic city of York with some of the North's finest beers, what more could you ask for...?
