Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Beer Guide to the 1970s (part eighteen)
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
More 1970s breweries. And again, only one of the three is still knocking around. Though another closed as recently as last year.I tried beers from all the breweries. And I was very fond of the beers of two of them: Hydes and Jennings. It was a sad, sad day when the latter closed.
Hull
Hull,
East Yorkshire.
Founded: 1765
Closed: 1986
Tied houses: 210
Another rather odd brewery. Most of their tied houses were in the Hull area, though they extended up to Scarbrough in the North and to North Lincolnshire in the South. The beer was rough filtered and mostly served from ceramic cellar tanks. In the free trade, however, it was delivered in casks. After initially classifying the beers as real ale, CAMRA changed their minds in 1980 and considered it as bright beer. I quite liked the Bitter, was which sold on handpump in the Town Hall Tavern in Leeds. They were bought and closed by Mansfield Brewery in 1986.

Hydes was one of the smallest breweries in the Manchester area. Their pubs were mostly in North Manchester, though there were a few in North Wales.

Jennings
Cockermouth,

Founded: 1828
Closed: 2023
Tied houses: 79
Based in the Lake District, Jennings had a pretty good reputation. I certainly enjoyed their beers. Their pubs were located in the Lakes, with some free trade stretching further south. They were purchased by Wolverhampton & Dudley in 2005. When they in turn were taken over by Carlsberg, the brewery was closed.
