A brand new beer has been specially brewed by Hook Norton Ales to commemorate the county’s millennium year.
’Inspired’, is a real Oxfordshire beverage: brewed with barley malt form Swalcliffe, hops from Kingston Bagpuize and water from Hook Norton’s own wells.
During the course of producing ’Inspired’, Oxfordshire suffered devastating floods. The beer is therefore dedicated to all those who assisted in dealing with the flooding and aided those affected.
The beer was launched in early September and will be available in selected pubs in Oxfordshire.

[i] Bottle, picked up from SH Jones, Bicester 22-09-07 [/i] Poured light amber in colour with white head. Aroma a little sweet. Initially taste was reminiscent of an orange rowntrees jelly cube diluted in hot water, there was also quite a lot of barley sugar there as well. Whilst I’m pleased that Hooky have sourced local hops and and malt for this beer, the beer itself whilst ok was somewhat underwhelming. Overall a bit sweet, initially interesting with the orangeyness but quickly fading to become just a sweetish beer with hop character lacking.
