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.

Bottle at home in London, shared with the Lyoli - picked up at a Tesco, I think. Branded as ’Sussex Lager’. Pours crystal clear gold, effervescent with a fine, creamy white head. Simple bread and cereal on the nose with hints of hay. Light to medium sweet flavor with further simple, biscuity pale malts, hints of white sugar, lemony hops, faint hay and grass. Light in body with average carbonation. Sweet, somewhat sugary on the finish with minimal bitterness, just more biscuits, white bread, straw. Simple lager. Easy drinking.

TESCO shelf beer, 330ml bottle: BBD 16 Jul 14, poured into a ’Chimay’ chalice at home on 26 Apr 14. The first beer in a ’random tasting evening’ I had with myself. Slight haze to my golden pour, the white head disappearing to an island, wisp and collar far to quickly. One of Hepworth’s better brews to be honest. The nose however was weak really, some yeastiness with maybe a squirt of Pink Grapefruit and some light maltiness. The taste followed that line also, mild yeast flavour mixed in with some citrus hints and an underlying mini sweetness from the malts.

Bottle 500ml (K-Kamppi)
Dark brown color, small beige head. Aroma is lactose toasted chocolaty. Light bodied, soft palate. Flavor has sweetish lactose and toasted, chocolaty flavors. Light hoppyness in the finish although this is more on sweet than bitterside. Decent sweet stout which would gain from a bit higher ABV.

A colabrown beer with only a weak and beige head. The nose is quite nice, roastiness, some balancing and dark chocolate, also coffee. Taste have some sweet and dark malts, thus the roastiness is not too dominating, some dark bread. The end is quite dry with roasted coffee. Light+ bodied but slippery and nice. Quite simple, not too dry and roasted.
