Boddingtons
Location: Manchester, England
Website: Entry for Boddingtons in the Directory of UK Real Ale Breweries
The Strangeways brewery was founded in 1778 by two grain
merchants and the iconic name of Boddingtons was established in 1853 when Henry
Boddington took over the brewery. It was acquired by Whitbread in 1989 which in
turn was acquired by Interbrew. The brewery is now closed and Boddingtons beer
is brewed under contract by Hyde's.
In recent years it is perhaps best known for a series of effective adverts where
various stylish and sophisticated models would enthuse in broad Manqunian
accents how the beer was the "Cream
of Manchester". Who can forget
Melanie Sykes in the Ice Cream van?
