On the bar from October 2019 is Paterson’s, the third beer of our six cask series celebrating 170 years of Joseph Holt.
Paterson’s takes us back to 1928 and generation 3 of the brewery. After the death of his father at the age of 78, the reins of the company were handed over to the second Edward Holt. It was somewhat of a bittersweet moment for the family as Sir Edward Holt’s eldest son, Captain Joseph Holt, was originally primed to take over the brewery before his untimely death in 1915 at the World War One.
Instead it would be his brother Edward who would take over and lead the company for the next 40 years.
Paterson’s is full bodied, high strength bitter. The brew has been dry hopped with Goldings, a traditional English hop variety, giving a slightly spicy, floral and earthy aroma.
The good levels of maltiness in Paterson’s gives the beer a strong base to cope with the higher alcohol and bitterness content, resulting in a well-balanced, suppable bitter.
