About
New Beginnings

2017 – A fresh start. Charles Wells sells Havelock St brewery and most of our beer brands to Marston’s, signalling a move away from higher-volume national sales and a renewed focus on specialty ale and lager brands to delight modern beer fans. The deal also provided the resources needed to begin designing the new home of our dreams - now known as Brewpoint (which began brewing October 2020).

While Marston's acquired the rights to brew brands like Bombardier, the family retained the "Charles Wells" and "Charlie Wells" brand names.

Wells & Co. is Born

2019 – Charles Wells rebrands as Wells & Co., reflecting the diversity of our modern business. The move away from Charles Wells was not a decision we took lightly, but with significant investment taking place in our pub estates and a new brewery on the way capable of producing a range of beer styles unimaginable to us just ten years ago, the time felt right to make a statement of confidence about our future direction as a company.

Interesting, but odd duck. Appearance is really good, but suspicious. I’m wondering if there are foaming agents added. Carbonation is too soft.

Can: Lemon zest and mildly fecal hay aroma, some grassy hops. Crystal clear amber, medium sticky head. Pronounced lemon zest, thistle, grass. Light body, easy carbonation. Hoppy and delicious. Probably a pilsner.

Pours a clean golden colour with very light carbonation. The head is big though, creamy, whitish with good retention and lacing. Beautiful hoppy aromas of fresh grass, spicy, almost like coriander leaves. The hops are milder in the taste, with a light bitterness in the middle, but not much more. Still, refreshing, grainy and a little tangy. I do like these hops in the aromas.

500ml bottle into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 1st Dec 2016. Light amber body, clean and clear: the head a white crown of bubbles. Hop centric with a decent bitter front, good feel to this: the aroma helps, with a combination of tropical fruits and herbal notes which lead in nicely to the hoppy taste.
