Boddington Factory
I thought we had a post here about the Boddington Factory in Manchester. It closed down in 2005 and has been empty since, this was about the time that the Boddington adverts changed to 'its the cream' rather than 'its the cream of Manchester'. Ask Developments have appointed an Architectural firm called HKR to convert the complex into offices, micro brewery and shops. It will be interesting to see what they come up with, the boddington's chimney is easily recognisable for miles around manchester and it would be good to make something of it!

Re: Boddington Factory
The chimney should be a giant middle finger pointing towards the headquarters of Interbru / Interbev or whoever bought the brand and promptly moved production away from Manchester. That would be cool.

It is good to know they are not considering knocking it down.

Re: Boddington Factory
It's currently a car-park at the moment! There was a point in time where they were considering knocking the chimney down with the rest of the buildings, but luckily someone saw sense.

Re: Boddington Factory
I am not really sure about what that means - is it a brewery for ants?

The official answer (from Wikipedia, font of all known knowledge) is that:
The official answer (from Wikipedia, font of all known knowledge) is that:
A microbrewery, or craft brewery, is a modern brewery which produces a limited amount of beer. The maximum amount of beer a brewery can produce and still be classed as a microbrewery varies by region and by authority, though is usually around 15,000 barrels a year.

Re: Boddington Factory
Is that all?!? God, I can drink that in a weekend You always think of microbreweries as being small artisanal operations making low volume of high quality product. (Althought I guess someone like S&N must make that in a day- it just depends how long it takes to recycle the beer )usually around 15,000 barrels a year.
