Hard to believe I know but life did exist outside of IMBC even during IMBC in 2015. We assembled this list of go-tos for all you IMBC goers – life in rich tapestry shocker.
Throughout the festival (Thursday 8th October – Sunday 11th October 2015) COMMON in the Northern Quarter will be offering IMBC goers 10% off food & drink. Simply rock forth carrying evidence of your IMBC going – hand stamp, wristband, physical or e-ticket, IMBC t-shirt, IMBC tattoo etc. Common serves breakfast from 10am every day (IMBC goers can get 25% off Common’s Breakfast menu) & kicks out the main menu in tandem from midday. Sunday dinners are also a thing if you want to get fully pre-loaded prior to Sunday’s closing ceremony at IMBC.
THURSDAY 8th OCTOBER 2015 AFTER HOURS:
Howling Hops Takeover at The Font, Town & Chorlton branches. Free entry.
Our bars Common, Port Street Beer House and The Beagle will all be open ’til midnight.
PARTY: Font, town branch, will be hosting an after-party for Thursday IMBC goers. They’re open all the live-long way ’til 2am.
FRIDAY 9TH OCTOBER 2015 AM

Common is open and serving breakfast from 10am. Turn up with some evidence of your IMBC allegiance & receive 10% off food & drink OR 25% off their breakfast menu before 2pm.
The Font, Town branch, is kindly offering IMBC ticket holders a generous 25% off breakfast. Simply pop in, show them evidence of your ticket (e-mail or physical) and reap the egg-based rewards.
FRIDAY 9TH OCTOBER 2015 PM
Brewdog: Brew by Numbers Tap Takeover ~ hop along and experience yet more BBNO (they’ll be at IMBC in full force). Free entry. Brewdog will also be staying open late on Friday night for all you IMBC attendees, they’re up ’til 2am.
SATURDAY 10th OCTOBER 2015 AM
(The Hangover PT II)
Our bars COMMON (Northern Quarter) & THE BEAGLE (Chorlton) are both churning out breakfast with care for beleaguered IMBC goers. Each serves breakfast 10am-2pm so just turn up (with that all important IMBC attending evidence) and get 10% off food and drink at The Beagle & 25% off Breakfast at Common. FYI, The Beagle serves a killer Bloody Mary for a high functioning fiver. Recommended.
SATURDAY 10th OCTOBER 2015 AFTER HOURS
Those keen to watch the rugby in town can head to PIE & ALE in the Northern Quarter where they’ll be screening England vs. Uruguay (kick off 8pm). Pie & Ale will generously be giving 10% discount off food & drinks to IMBC attendees, you just gotta prove that thing! Afterwards why not hot trot to Port Street Beer House who will be pouring ’til 1am for those intent on keeping the IMBC flame alive.
SUNDAY 11th OCTOBER 2015 AM
(The Hangover PT III)
The Font, Town branch, is kindly offering IMBC ticket holders a generous 25% off breakfast. Simply pop in, show them evidence of your ticket (e-mail or physical) and reap the egg-based rewards.
Common is slamming out that 25% off breakfast discount for all IMBC goers. Again, simply flash that festival smile & let them know what time it is. Common serves breakfast ’til midday on Sundays.
Pie & Ale are doing buy one get one free (BOGOF!) on Sunday pies for IMBC visitors, just flash those credentials at the door. I’d imagine Sunday pie is some kind of a roast dinner piped into a pie. There’s only one way to find out for certain, IMBC devotees…give ’em a visit!
MONDAY 12th OCTOBER 2015 PM
(The Hangover PT IIII: Hair of the Dog)
Brewdog: Weird beard Tap Takeover. Free entry. Pop by and give those Weird Bearders what for. Endorsed.
