It is available on cask, keg and in bottle conditioned form and the really good news is that it is available now in all four of the Student Union’s Academy music venues as well as the Students Union Bar on the ground floor of their Oxford Road building.

The Students Union Bar will be selling the cask conditioned version as a permanent real ale in the recently refurbished bar. The bar is open to the general public11 to midnight Sunday to Thursday & noon until 1am on Friday & Saturday.

Academy 2, Academy 3 & Club Academy (all of which share the Students Union building) will offer the bottle conditioned version. The main Academy One venue also has the beer in keg form – filtered but unpasteurised – as well as bottles. The launch of the beer coincides with the 25th anniversary of The Academy which opened it’s doors with a concert by Manchester legends The Buzzcocks way back in October 1989.
