Closed c.1/11/2023 with future of the business uncertain. As of mid-2022, the Saturday 1600-2200hrs open session was suspended for a year or so. This was because Ventile were temporarily running Station Hop bar in Levenshulme on a maternity cover basis. The Ventile beers featured at Station Hop as a consequence. History: Former industrial premises formed the brewery and its associated brew tap. A no-frills interior with picnic tables-cum-refectory style seating in which to enjoy the rustic ambience of the place. The modern well-maintained brew kit could be examined at close quarters. You could buy their beers for consumption off the premises too. The beer was live by CAMRA's definition and they were served from membrane-keg containers. The Ventile name was a nod to WWII history in Manchester. It was a cotton fabric invented in the city that found favour for fighter pilot's flying suits that extended their survival chances should they ditch in water.
