Beer Mat Competition

175 Anniversary Beer Mat Competition

Ever dreamed of having your name in lights? Well now lovers of Joseph Holt pubs have the chance to do exactly that.

We are giving customers the chance to have a pub of their choice named after them as part of  Joseph Holt`s milestone 175th-anniversary celebrations.

As part of a series of commemorative events, we brewery has released 16 individual beer mats – with each one offering a nugget of information about the history of Joseph Holt and the timeline of its 175 year journey as a family brewer.

The beer mats are available at all of Joseph Holt`s 127 pubs across the North West.  Those who complete the challenge of collecting all 16 will be entered into a draw and the winner will have a pub of their choice named after them for two weeks.  Picked at random, the winner and a group of their friends will also be invited to a VIP party.

Said Joseph Holt pubs director, Mark Norbury, : “Joseph Holt is so proud of its 175th milestone – of which our customers have played such a critical part since our pubs are located in the heart of the communities where they are located. We want to repay this loyalty and sense of historic connection by giving one special person a chance to see their favourite Joseph Holt pub named after them.”

The business was first opened by weaver`s son Joseph Holt in Manchester in 1849 just as the city was booming thanks to the industrial revolution. In 1860 it moved to its current premises on Empire Street in Cheetham Hill.  As well as its portfolio of 127 pubs in Greater Manchester and the North West, and its beers are supplied to over 500 nationally.

Adds Mark “ Even though one person will win the chance to have a pub named after them, we`re sure customers will enjoy gathering in and reading, the beer mats. These are likely to become such a collector’s item and are also a lovely way to learn more about Joseph Holt`s history and its amazing journey.”

The competition to collect all 16 beer mats will run until Thursday 31st October. Once you’ve collected them all,  please take a picture of the full set  and email it to [email protected]
