“This year we have offered customers a fantastic collection of monthly beers to celebrate classic TV programmes from the past, plus six bi-monthly beers showcasing a range of vintage ales from the Hydes historical archives.
“This batch of ales, which concludes our 2024 offering to complement our core range on bar, combines elements of our rich brewing heritage in the North West through our vintage range with an innovative, contemporary range of seasonal ales playfully themed around British TV classics.”
