Interesting that Lees are doing it. Used to be Holts but guess Lees sold the offer better. Maybe they have more outlets?
Was it not Hyde's as opposed to Holt's?

It was Boddies themselves in their Strangeways brewery before that got knocked down in 2005, then it went to Salmesbury for a bit for the keg, and the cash was Hyde's at Whalley Range I seem to recall.

Finsley Gate Wharf ?
Sounds like it is. The last time I was actually in the centre drinking, I think The Mix was there. Probably changed names 8 times since.

Think you're right! I went there with the Bridge lot for a literal p**s up in a brewery so my memory may be a little fuzzy!

Yep, agree, I've been going in a while.

Did I see you do a dj set in there?
Possibly a couple of years ago mate in the middle or bottom bar. I’m at the little white horse now for my residency.

New brew-m is very cheap that’s why no CAMRA discount

Finsley Gate Wharf doesn't get too busy (although from limited experience). Plenty of street parking around there too.
Plumped for this option and it was a great shout. Went in after the game too and there was plenty of seating. £3.50 a pint too!
