Hydes is one of the few breweries that is still owned and managed as a family business and in an age where most traditional breweries have been swallowed up by the giants of the industry this is no mean feat.

But Hydes is not merely surviving: we are thriving and have grown steadily over the last century to become one of the top 10 regional breweries in the UK.

Our success is based on our fastidious commitment to quality in every aspect of our business: quality of the people we employ, quality of the beers we brew, quality of the pubs we run and the service we provide to our customers, and it’s this quality combined with almost 150 years experience that you look for when enjoying a pint in your Hydes local.

But there’s much more to Hydes than just beer! In fact we have a diverse business designed to meet the challenges of the 21st century

Hydes beers proved to be very popular with the people of Manchester and the Crown Brewery at Audenshaw, the Mayfield Brewery, Ardwick and a site in Rusholme were all home to the Hydes family business during this period of phenomenal growth.
