  Company History continued...
  In 1899, with William Hyde now in control, the business came to rest at the Queens Brewery site in Brooks Bar, Manchester which it still occupies today. It was also under William’s leadership that the company began acquiring an estate of public houses through which to distribute more of Hydes’ products. Hydes Ales acquired an excellent reputation throughout the North West, and in 1944 the company was re-named Hydes Anvil Brewery to incorporate the family trademark.

William Hyde’s sister Annie was a dominant force in the family, and she took over the business after William died in 1916, going on to run it successfully for a total of 56 years.

As we begin a new century Hydes Brewery is laying the foundations for steady expansion and diversification. The old brewhouse now conceals the latest modern vessels and brewing technology, and output has been stepped up to cater for growing demand. With more than 80 tied houses in the North West of England and North Wales and a growing collection of quality pub restaurants and cafe bars, the company is embracing the future with enthusiasm and a confident sense of style.

Our customers can now drink the best of Hydes ales, enjoy top class meals in a Hydes pub restaurant and party the night away in one of our stylish new cafe bars - we’ve a heritage to be proud of and there’s a great future brewing.
