Our History… When Alfred and Ralph Hyde acquired a small brewing concern from their grandfather Thomas Shaw in 1863, little did they know that they would beginning a brewing dynasty. As the Hydes business developed it was managed by a variety of family members from different generations, and by virtue of its increasing fortunes it outgrew its premises several times. In 1899, with William Hyde now in control, the business located to its long-term home at the Queens Brewery site in Brooks Bar, Manchester. It was under William’s leadership that the company began acquiring an estate of public houses through which to distribute more of Hydes’ products. When William passed away in 1916 his sister Annie took over the business, going on to run it successfully for a total of 56 years. Since then the family has continued to remain in control up to the present day. Hydes Ales started to acquire an excellent reputation throughout the North West, and in 1944 the company was re-named Hydes Anvil Brewery to incorporate the family trademark. After many years the “Anvil” name was dropped and Hydes Brewery became the company name. In 2012, after over 100 years, the company ended its tenure at the Queens Brewery and relocated to its existing site in Media City – the Beer Studio. The Beer Studio is entirely dedicated to the production of cask ales. Four beers are available on a permanent basis and an extensive range of constantly changing seasonal craft ales are also produced. Our beers are distributed through our managed and tenanted houses, wholesalers and pub groups. Go to ‘our beers’ for more information.
