Hook Norton Brewery is proud to announce a truly global brewing collaboration – Red Barchetta (4.2%) – created in partnership with Canadian craft breweries Main St. Brewery, Neighbourhood Brewing, and hop experts Charles Faram & Co.
This special cask ale represents a meeting of minds, malts, and hops across two continents. The recipe was conceived live on the ‘Why This Beer’ podcast, where Andy Thomas of Hook Norton joined forces with Azlan Graves (Main St. Brewery) and Darren Binnema (Neighbourhood Brewing) to design a beer that would celebrate their shared passion for craftsmanship and innovation. Using Charles Faram hops and Hook Norton’s own yeast strain, Red Barchetta was born.
The beer was first brewed and canned at Main St. Brewery in Vancouver, Canada, before making its way to the UK where Hook Norton recreated the same recipe for a traditional cask version. The final result is a perfect fusion of British brewing heritage and Canadian creativity.

On cask at Main Street, pours a clear amber with a small tan head. Aroma has dry bready malt, not much else. Flavour has a little more hop content, with light bitterness, dry bready malt, and a touch of dried toffee. Finished lightly bitter. Very easy-drinking and unassuming. Decent.
