The brewery in question is Manchester based Cloudwater Brew Co. This is their current header on twitter, which it absolutely wasn't just a few days ago.

This is actually an area where I have some knowledge, Manchester has a pretty competitive brewery scene, in Greater Manchester alone there's Pomona Island, Squawk, Blackjack Brewing Co, Marble Beers, Seven Brothers, Alphabet Brewing Company, First Chop, Runaway Brewery, etc. And that's without going into the fact that a good portion of the pubs in and around the city are going to be owned by one of four companies, Nicholsons, Joseph Holt, J W Lees or Stonegate and Nicholsons pubs are the only one out of the four that don't have set beers on tap in their pubs. To put it simply, there's no lack of competition even within the city, let alone outside. And I honestly think Cloudwater is the one I see on tap the least in pubs, other than ones that have their own flagship pub where they exclusively serve their own beers (Marble being one with The Marble Arches). I'll often see Thornbridge, who are from not far away, Pomona Island is on tap in a fair few places, Squawk in a few, Blackjack have a deal with one of the major food halls, Runaway has deals with some of the major restaurants.
