Cloudwater Unit 9 Brewery Taproom

Cloudwater Unit 9 Brewery Taproom

You’ll find our Unit 9 Taproom nestled right next to our brewery in the heart of Manchester. With 20 draft taps & 2 cask lines brimming with fresh releases and barrel-aged delights, it's a beer lover's paradise. You’ll also find our shop here where you can snag the latest cans and bottles to enjoy at home, pickup a branded T-shirt, Sweatshirt, Hoodie, Cap and a variety of glassware.

Unit 9 isn't just a taproom; it’s a space designed to elevate your beer experience, highlighting the importance of freshness and showcasing some of the incredible artwork that has defined Cloudwater since our inception. All 22 lines are drawn from a chilly 3ºC cold store just beneath the tap room mezzanine, ensuring every sip is as fresh as can be. Even our take-out selection is kept icy cold at below 5ºC, straight from the same cold store where it's been since packaging.

In addition to our stellar beer selection, we've got local gin, wine, small-batch soft drinks, and a tempting array of cold snacks. You’ll also find us rolling out the welcome mat for local street food vendors on most weekends, and you can find a list of all upcoming food traders on our Unit 9 socials.

We're thrilled to offer a vibrant space buzzing with creative energy and brimming with quality behind every tap, all run by an incredibly talented and like-minded team who help bring our taproom visitation to life.
