Our traditional session ale. Originally brewed in 1879, Hobby Horse very quickly became a thoroughbred. We hope this hand crafted ale will awaken and re-kindle your senses. Take time out for a sumptuous injection of nostalgia. Light refreshing and hoppy. A real winner.

Nice bitter aroma, followed up by a genuine full-bodied bitterness which is very tasty.

draught at the Corn Exchange, Crickhowell. Clear amber-golden colour with a small off-white head. Flowery hoppy nose. Rather full-bodied for the strength and so full of flavours. Intensive malty background with a touch of fruit, orange malmalade and lots of perfumy and floral hops in the lingering finish. Perhaps the best Welsh beer I had during my holiday.
