Discover the incredible history of Manchester’s most iconic beer and the family brewery that refused to sell out. In this video, we dive into the 177-year story of Joseph Holt, from its humble beginnings in 1849 behind a city centre pub to the historic Derby Brewery in Cheetham Hill.
Find out how six generations of the Holt family survived global recessions, corporate buyouts, and changing tastes to remain an independent, fiercely local cornerstone of Manchester's pub culture.
If you love British beer history, traditional brewing, or classic Northern grit, this is the story of a true Manchester institution.
