Indy Man Beer Con
Victoria Baths, Manchester

The Independent Manchester Beer Convention (Indy Man Beer Con/IMBC) was a world-class event, shining a spotlight on the top-tier breweries from our beloved UK and those beyond our shores. Every year, this enchanting Grade II listed architectural marvel, the Victoria Baths, transforms into a haven for beer enthusiasts. IMBC is where cutting-edge breweries congregate, weaving a tapestry of multi-sensory, dynamic beer experiences.

What They’re Saying

• “A joyous event held in the crumbling splendour of the Victoria Baths” – The Guardian
• “Indy Man Beer Con has rewritten the rules on what a British beer festival looks like.” – Financial Times
• “If you love beer and/or historic architecture be sure to go at least once – if not every year” – Sophie Atherton, Beer Sommelier
• “The most forward thinking beer festival seen in the UK…” – Evening Brews
• “This is about intimacy, it’s about atmosphere…” – Summer Wine Brewery

Our Origins

The creative minds behind Nell’s Pizza, Common, Port Street Beer House, and The Beagle came together to birth IMBC. Why? A shared vision. They wanted an event that truly represented the spirited UK’s craft beer movement, one that was open-minded, inclusive, and thoroughly modern.

Our Policy on Youngsters & Canine Companions

Children? Absolutely welcome at IMBC before 7pm, but always with a guardian by their side. As for our four-legged pals, guide dogs get a pass, but other furry friends might want to sit this one out. Victoria Baths, being the ancient dame she is, has too many nooks and crannies. We’re cautious of a bustling, boisterous environment being a tad overwhelming for them – and the youngsters too! So, guardians, eyes on the kiddos!
