Description
Andy Hepworth started brewing in Reading almost directly after University. He moved to Horsham in 1980 and within five years became the youngest Head Brewer in the country, winning many awards.
The long-standing tradition of brewing in Horsham came to an abrupt halt in 2000 with the sale of its last brewery and so Andy, determined to maintain that tradition, joined up with the key members of the brewing team in order to create Hepworths, an independent brewery aiming to build its own range of quality brands, while maintaining flexibility for contract work.
In 2016 they relocated to their current site which they co-locate with Goodwood Brewery, Laines Brew Hub and Ridgeway Brewing sharing certain facilities but not brewplants.

Lively golden ale with a decent foamy head with a light caramel aroma. Flavour has a touch of caramel too, set off by tangier, tart citrus. If it wasn’t so strong it’d be bang-on as a summer guzzle-able.

Bottle from Tesco, Brighouse. Amber-gold, no head. Has a general malt-hop nose, some fruit in its taste but very balanced in its core ingredients in terms of producing its flavour. There’s a small sweetness that lingers.

Quite a fruity, peachy aroma. Flavour has a slightly peppery, spicy edge at first as found in some Belgian ales. It’s not particularly sweet though. Dry, with plain maltiness.
