Hydes Brewery has launched its latest seasonal ale, Stingo, the newest addition to its popular Vintage cask ale collection.

Available exclusively across Hydes’ pub estate in the North West and North Wales throughout September and October, Stingo is set to be a highlight of the brewery’s 2025 seasonal programme.

At 6.0% ABV, Stingo is one of the boldest beers in the range. It delivers a robust character with added strength and complexity, balanced by a pronounced hop bitterness that creates a sharp and memorable flavour profile. Crafted with Hydes’ signature attention to detail, the ale offers a rich and satisfying drinking experience that perfectly captures the essence of autumn.

Following the success of earlier releases this year, including XPA, Mild, IPA and Hydes Red, Stingo continues to build momentum in Hydes’ six-strong seasonal lineup for 2025. A 5.2% ABV Porter will round off the programme later in the year.

To complement this year’s Vintage collection, Hydes has introduced striking retro-inspired branding across the seasonal range. Bold pump clips and promotional materials revive the iconic Anvil Brewery identity, designed to appeal to long-time ale enthusiasts and new customers alike.

Stingo will be available on the bar across Hydes pubs from 1 September until the end of October. Beer lovers are encouraged to enjoy this limited-edition ale before it disappears from the pumps.

Founded in 1863, Hydes Brewery remains proudly independent and operates more than 40 pubs across the North West and North Wales. The company continues to invest in its estate, delivering outstanding customer experiences and supporting its teams for the long term.
