Hello

Well that was IMBC 2012, we had plenty of fun hosting an amazing event, we hope you did too? It took a while to ‘come down’ from such a great couple of days! Judging by the ever flowing twitter feed it made us glow with all the lovely comments. Thanks everyone!

The event would not have happened without the huge help of all the brewers, volunteers, Port Street Beer House and Common staff, everyone at Victoria Baths and the amazing production team! Thank you SO much for making IMBC work so well.

We have already mooted ideas for 2013, we will be announcing dates soon once we have convinced the baths to welcome us back. So watch this space as we make 2013 even better. Also keep an eye out for a video we had specially commissioned!

Thank you once again, without you we would be nothing!

All the best / TEAM IMBC

Beer Say : “It was groundbreaking, the first of it’s kind and in my view at least an event that strove from the start to examine everything about the average British beer fest”

Reluctant Scooper : “An event of this nature and scale doesn’t get designed by a committee yoked with misplaced tradition. It needs vision and ambition, bloody-mindedness and bloody hard work. So caps doffed to the organisers for shaping it…”
