The Royal Brewery has had several owners, previously brewing brands such as Kestrel, McEwan's and [[Harp Lager]] and is now owned by [[Heineken]] for the production of [[Foster's Lager]]. There has been a brewery on this site since 1875.<ref name="mosssidemap1915">{{cite book| last = Makepeace | first = Chris E | title = Moss Side 1915: Lancashire Sheet 104.1 | publisher = Alan Godfrey Maps | series = Old Ordnance Survey Maps | location = Consett | year = 2011| isbn = 978-1-84784-521-4}}</ref> Originally built as the Albert Brewery, by 1915 it had become known as the Moss Side Brewery. A report in the 1880s commented:

"The water at the brewery is of exceptionally good quality, containing all the necessary elements for producing the finest ales, which cannot be surpassed in the district for their brightness, purity and flavour".<ref name="mosssidemap1915"/>

The brewery was later acquired by Walker and Homfrays and merged into Wilsons in 1949.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pubs-of-manchester.blogspot.com/2011/07/walker-homfrays-salford.html|title=Pubs of Manchester: Walker & Homfrays, Salford|date=10 July 2011}}</ref> The brewery again merged with [[Webster's Brewery|Websters]] brewery in 1985, was sold to [[Scottish & Newcastle|Courage]] in 1990, before takeover by Heineken in 2008.<ref>[[Webster's Brewery]]</ref> Prior to its expansion, part of the site of the Royal Brewery, where Moss Lane East meets Princess Road, was occupied by a library, fire station and police station.<ref name="mosssidemap1915"/>
