No longer operating as a tap, just a brewery.

This was the brewery tap for Manchester Union brewery co-located with the brewery in a railway arch close to Piccadilly station. It is the UK's first dedicated craft lager brewery using decoction mashing in the brewing process.

The brewery tap is no longer open but the brewery remains active.
