Getting Involved (in a big way) With #ISBFXI

Written By Jim Cullen

The first #ISBFXI Webpost! It's SPRING!!!! Time to get moving. And scrounging….

And mithering The Boy Genius for a design…… I don't call him that for nothing!

One of the most humbling things in my limited experience is the number of people that GET what we try to do with ISBF. And sponsor beer. The Programme. Take out an Ad in the Programme. Posters.

And the glassware. That Glassware Sponsorship thing is a biggie

Back when we started (in 2014) we didn't have a Sponsor for our glasses. Didn't think anyone would be interested…

But from Year 2, we were surprised. The OG of Mancunian Micro Pubs, Damian O’Shea of Heaton Hops stepped up. We were thrilled. One of my (Jim) beer heroes wanted to sponsor our glasses. (And we had to do two runs to get him all his glassware!)

WOW.

From that, each year has been a “Who's Who” of Micros with their name on our glasses :

  • Heaton Hops

  • The Brink

  • Torrside

  • The Northern Type

  • House of Hops

  • Petersgate Tap

  • Nook & Cranny

  • Tom's Tap & Brewhouse

  • Old School Taphouse

  • Stalybridge Buffet Bar

  • Swinton Hop House

Exceptional bars and pubs all. Each of them - in various ways - having a huge place in both my personal beer journey and a huge place in the hearts of the #ISBFFamily.

So. For #ISBFXI, we're looking for a Glassware Sponsor. I'm all ears.

What does the Glassware Sponsor get?

  • 2 tickets to each session of the event

  • All the Glassware that remains at the end of the event

  • Their logo on that Glassware

  • Input into the style of the Glasses to be ordered. (Stemmed & Pint)

Interested? Contact me - Jim - at Sponsorship@salfordbeerfest.com and let's talk.

In other sponsorship news, we have a tiny number of beer/cider sponsorships remaining.

If you would like to get involved, the price to sponsor a beer is £90 (no rise for the 3rd year!). Each sponsorship gets you :

  • 2 tickets to the session of your choice

  • £10 tokens with each ticket

  • Glass & Programme

  • Your name (of choice) against a beer or cider

  • A big thank you in our beautiful programme.

  • The undying gratitude of both the #ISBFFamily & our chosen charity Start Inspiring Minds

Fancy joining us? Just click this link and fill in the form.

Don't forget. Dates for our little event are 12-14 November.

Get those calendars noted!

Back soon with more news.

Be kind to one another.
