Wilson Potter Brewery – Saturday Soirée

Around 90 people braved the inclement weather on Saturday and made their way to the Edgar Wood Centre for the monthly Wilson Potter Brewery ‘Saturday Soirée’.

As well as their usual range of award winning craft ales, a new heritage themed beer was available to try.

‘Crafty Mr Wood’ has been specially brewed for Middleton Heritage to commemorate Edgar Wood, architect of The Arts & Crafts Church and the school buildings that are now The Edgar Wood Centre. The beer is a 3.8% amber session ale and it certainly seemed to go down very well with those who tried it. Bottles of the beer will be available from the brewery soon.

Wilson Potter’s next event at the Edgar Wood Centre will be Saturday 12th September when the Arts & Crafts Church and the Edgar Wood Centre will be open for Heritage Open Weekend. If you would like to receive an invitation and book a place at the brewery bar please contact Kathryn or Amanda on 0161 654 6446 or email: enquiries@wilsonpotterbrewery.co.uk

Wilson Potter Brewery – plans for the summer at Edgar Wood Centre

Wilson Potter Brewery have again produced a special beer for us, this time to celebrate  our revolutionary architect Edgar Wood.  The previous beers were ‘Nod to Nowell’  and ‘SBA’  in honour of Alexander Nowell and Sam Bamford. We now need to think of a name for the Edgar Wood beer, do you have any suggestions? Please let us know by leaving a reply below.

Once again the brewery will be holding their bar or ‘Soiree’ at The Edgar Wood Centre on Saturday 6th June. Let’s hope for a warm sunny day so that the guests can enjoy the garden. Please note this is a private event and places are reserved by invitation only. Anyone who is not on the guest list will, unfortunately, not be allowed in! If you would like an invitation to future events please contact the brewery – contact details are HERE.

In addition to a regular monthly bar we are also exploring ideas for a Beer Festival to be held at The Edgar Wood Centre. It is in the early planning stage at the moment but we think it will make a fantastic late summer event.
