From our recently commisioned keg plant, we bring you…DOCK 4. A beautifully balanced and easy drinking blonde lager, delivering a soft lingering finish with a bitter-sweet flavour and hoppy undertones (4.0% ABV).
The DOCK 4 name is derived from the location of the brewery to Salford Quays and Manchester Ship Canal. Previously the site of Manchester Docks before closure in 1982 Salford Docks was the largest of the two docks and was opened in 1894 by Queen Victoria (30 years after Hydes was founded in 1863). At their height, Manchester Docks was the 3rd busiest port in Britain and they were divided into sections consisting of 4 docks in total.
DOCK 4 will be available in selected Hydes pubs from Monday.
