There is a reason, but not what you're suggesting.... Wards parent company was Vaux Breweries in Sunderland, they suffered a city boardroom coup, the new management wanted to go out of brewing and become a hotel and pub owning chain... Wards had put £5.5m into the coffers in the previous year but they didn't consider it enough, but worse still blocked a bid for a management buyout.. Shameful business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
alan p   15 #17 Posted January 2, 2023 Wards was a good pint. It depended what pub you was in. The Richmond on the Woodthorpe in the 70's and the Hawk and Dove same in the 70s. The landlords made the difference in the beer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

zakes   68 #20 Posted January 3, 2023 I once saw a spewdent take a pint of Wards back to the bar in the Red House pub, on Solly Street, claiming it smelled of sewage. It was explained to him that Wards smelled like that because of the maltiness.  It was never long afore a newcomer to Wards Best Bitter had a bad case of Shytes Macgregor.   sadbrewer.  hey up mate......happy new year to you.  Lets not forget The Queens Hotel on Scotland Street...plus the other pub lower down ont same side. I forget the name of it but it was run by the unusual Ruth and Barry.  I recall some other Wards pubs too:  Manchester Hotel Nursery St. Domino        Egerton St. The Matilda   Matilda St. The Harlequin Johnson St. Brown Cow     Mowbray St. I'll leave others to name the Wards pubs out of town cos ah cant be bovvered.
