The second in the series of Founder’s Day beers that celebrate key people from our history. John and Edward Woodhouse were brothers who brought distinct yet complimentary skills to the important business of brewing characterful ales.
Known affectionately as “The Chairman”, Edward was a keen sportsman and captained Somerset County Cricket before using his insight and vision to modernise the business. John was all about the beer, as head brewer he was constantly innovating and created numerous championship winning ales. Together they epitomised the Teamwork that still runs through Hall & Woodhouse and set the business on firm foundations for the future.
To celebrate we’ve crafted a powerful, bottle-conditioned Stingo Ale, a style made famous by H&W in the 20th century. Brewed to a punchy 9% with a deep chestnut brown colour from the blend of malts and perfectly balanced hops for robustly bitter finish.
Malts: Pale Ale Malt, Crystal, ChocolateHops: Target, Progress, Fuggles and Centennial

7.5/10
Big malty sweetness. Almost light a barley wine. But also some fruit. Bright amber colour and a white head. Rich body.

Saving this one for too long, so decided to have it on a whim. And I was not disappointed. Huge flavour of malt and perfectly balanced hops. And it is just so smooth.
