Joseph Holt Runaway

Two very different Manchester brewers have teamed up to create a collaboration brew for the city’s second Beer Week.

Neighbours Joseph Holt Brewery, established in 1849, and Runaway Brewery, set up in 2014, sat down over a pint at the end of the day and decided to work together to celebrate one of Manchester’s finest drinks.

They will combine two recipes when they brew at Joseph Holt, in Cheetham Hill, this month: Runaway Pale Ale and Joseph Holt Two Hoots.

The breweries have different histories, customers and beers, but have two things in common: a passion for brewing, and producing top-quality beers for Mancunians.

The beer will be racked into cask, bottled and a limited number of key kegs will be available. The beer will then be sold throughout pubs, bars and bottle shops in Manchester and the North West in time for Manchester Beer Week.
