Welcome to Joseph Holts

There is no doubt that Joseph Holt's Derby Brewery is rather a special place in a modern world where most beer is brewed in huge industrial complexes. There are few family breweries left in Britain today, most having been swallowed up by the giants of the industry. Joseph Holt is one that has survived.

The brewery stands just off the Cheetham Hill Road, which used to be the only road from Manchester to Bury, a few hundred yards to the north of Manchester's Victoria Station. Historically most of the licensed houses were away to the northwest, in Salford and beyond to Eccles and Swinton, to the North in Broughton and Prestwich, or in Manchester itself. But today the Holt's name has spread further round the area, to towns such as Warrington and St Helens bringing a total of 125 holts pubs.
