Joseph Holt

Brewing great beer and running fantastic pubs since 1849. Joseph Holt is a unique brewery: it embodies both traditional values and exceptional brewing.
(268)

For more than 160 years the company has not only created and developed award winning beer, but also served the community of which it forms a part of. It has built sustainable jobs and worked with charities to deliver substantial benefits to people living in the brewery’s area of operations and beyond. Established in 1849, Joseph Holt Ltd has been managed by its founding family for five generations. Throughout that time the company has been driven by traditions of professionalism, honesty and innovation. So the business, although rooted in the traditional values of a family firm with a reputation built on traditional draft and bottled beer, has always looked to evolve. The most recent developments in that evolution are the Crystal and Diamond range of lagers and the Golden Ale Two Hoots. These products join the collection of award winning lagers and excellent Smooth and Black keg beer. The brewery has an established pub estate that is carefully managed to ensure that it is focused on growth.

This summer we set out to raise £20,000 with Meals & More to help children across the North West! Our pubs and teams were fundraising for this amazing charity through a variety of events to help spread awareness.

We are pleased to announce, this charity appeal raised an incredible £22,136.58 which will now go towards helping feed Children in the areas close to where our pubs are located 🟢

Thank you to everyone and all of our pubs who donated, showed support and raised funds for this appeal.

In honour of Remembrance Sunday this year, we'd like to shine a light on the good work all of our pubs do to help Veterans and Veterans charities but also how they show their gratitude for their sacrifices. 🔴

We went to The Bowling Green which holds a Veterans breakfast for Blesma, The Limbless Veterans. This is held once a month and has regular attendees. 🍳

Jeff who is a lower leg amputee and Kieran who has loss of use of limbs and a brain injury were kind enough to sit down with us and tell us a little about their story.

We will remember all who sacrificed their lives, so we could live ours. 🪖

✨PUB OF THE MONTH!!✨

This month it goes to The Kings Head, Droylsden ! 🎉

After taking over in mid-June, Cheryl has taken from strength to strength as a business. ✨
With the continuation of managing a stable business, taking over from long standing operators of over 25 years, Cheryl and her team have continued to drive the Kings Head by offering a warm, welcoming environment, serving great quality b**rs and introducing a varied cask offering. 🍻

By maintaining good connections in the local area, such as sponsoring local football teams, utilising the site as a ‘hub’ Droylsden Food Bank (Food and District Collection) and 'Heart of the Community' events such as promoting the site as a ‘safe place’ for people to meet and natter at quieter times, and providing facilities for family occasions. All of this along with added focus on entertainment locally over the weekends, regular Quiz and Karaoke events and the introduction of food via Carrs pasties, the site has seen phenomenal growth in a trying time for businesses in our sector.❓🎤

Congratulations to Cheryl and the team at the Kings Head ! 👏
