It will appear on draught at venues across Greater Manchester during the festival - which runs from June 29 to July 8.

Northern Monk, based at Marshalls Mill in Holbeck, is one of the best-respected breweries in the UK’s booming craft beer scene and is set for rapid expansion after smashing the £500,000 target it set during a recent crowdfunding campaign. The Leeds brewery eventually raised an impressive £1.5m.
