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.

Canned 500ml. -as Gurkha Premium Gold Lager Beer. Pale golden coloured, medium sized white head that went away fast, dusty and light grainy nose. Sweetish malty, some cardboard, grain and sugar with hint of alcohol inthe finish. Unbalanced of course but not so offensive as I’ve expected to be.

Cask @ GBBF 2014. Smooth sweetish grain, nice highly drinkable. Smooth grainy malt in the mainpart, not too sweet, a bit dusty. The aftertaste is smooth, medium long, fresh, grainy, golden ale typical with a light body. Great summer ale!

Slightly skunky, but a lot of things shine through. Beautiful pour with thick, fluffy beige head. Milky amber body, aroma of cooked vegetables, malt and molasses. Slick, heavy mouth feel, sweet malt dominates the taste. No finish, no lingering taste.
