Strangeways Brewery

Strangeways Brewery

The Strangeways Brewery is a well known Manchester landmark located just to the north of the city centre. It is famous as the original home of the Boddingtons brand of beer.

History

The Strangeways Brewery was founded by two grain merchants, Thomas Caister, Thomas Fry in the late 1700s. The location of the brewery, just outside the city centre, was chosen to avoid a grain tax levied by local mills that belonged to Manchester Grammar School.

Since InBev's acquisition of Boddingtons, beer production at the brewery was slowly phased out until it stopped in 2006. The brewery was reused as a venue for a series of club nights, known as The Warehouse Project until December 31st 2006. The site is currently undergoing demolition, preceding redevelopment.
