Description
Located in the heart of the picturesque Pennine town of Holmfirth, The Rose and Crown is affectionately called ‘The Nook’ by all those who know it well and frequent it regularly. Owned and run by the Roberts family for two generations, The Nook has been serving the people of Holmfirth and beyond quality ales in fine condition for over 50 years. In 2000 Ian Roberts and Sheila Sutton took over the business following the passing of their father, David Roberts. Since then Ian and Sheila have followed in their father’s footsteps continuing the proud real ale tradition of the Nook. The Nook Brewhouse is a bespoke purpose built brewery and is the next chapter for the Nook’s real ale legacy. It stands on the site of a previous brewery dating back to the 18th century and has been designed to make the most of natural and local resources wherever possible; Gravity to aid the brewing process, warm energy from one brew to heat the next and the cool cellar which is built deep below the water line of the River Ribble and is perfect for conditioning our ales.
In 2009 they revived a local brewing tradition by building The Nook Brewhouse on a site to the rear of The Nook

500ml bottle - Dark amber/ruby body, thin white froth on top, rich caramel nose. Sharp malty tang on the way in, bitterness and crisp spicy orange on the way out. It seems okay, but not the best I’ve had from Nook.

500ml bottle - Deep ruby body, thin white head, rich fruity nose with a bit of roastiness in there. Medium bodied yet full flavoured with a robust fruitiness, sweet caramel and vanilla that carries through to the finish. Better than Newcastle Brown.

On cask at Picturedrome in Holmfirth - let down a bit by being in a plastic glass, but still shone through as a decent brew. Nice light and crisp, pale golden body, white head that laces nicely. Notes of citrus and hops shine through. Quality brew.
