Manchester Food & Drink Festival 2012

The last couple of weeks in Manchester have been delicious. The Manchester Food & Drink Festival celebrated its 15th year with a series of food and drink events which lasted no fewer than 17 days. Albert Square, the festival hub, hosted a number of stalls, bars and cookery shows, and offered the opportunity to taste the creations of the best brewers and artisan chefs in the UK. Beer, cider and whisky festivals, live music, eating contests and even an exotic Tiki Shack cocktail were organised in different spots and restaurants throughout the city to celebrate all things foodie!
