Description
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.

330ml bottle. Poured a very slightly hazy golden colour with a thin white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is malt, grassy, light citrus hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a crisp, light gluey, funky yeast, light dry hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
