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.

50 cl bottle @ home, BBE 04.12.2014
Aroma has toffee, some roasted notes and nuts. Flavour has toffee, nuts, some hay and hints of coffee. Too low on roastiness and not very stout-like. Feels also a bit watery.

330ml bottle from Tesco drunk at home. Clear gold colour lasting off white head. Yep, not great, a bit of cardboard newspaper, eek, boiled vegetables not nice. Not sure I want to finish this. Ugh.

Bottle@Panas Gurkha’s Kitchen, Grove Park - pale yellow/golden pour with a big foamy head. Aroma and taste is grassy, straw, pils malty, clean and crisp, refreshing. Not bad, and certainly not the worst beer with a curry I have had (has to be said the curry it went with was cracking!)

Klar gulbrun med høyt hvitt skum. Lime, sitron kommer med en gang ved skjenking. Korn og malt kommer også i lukten. Vannaktig smak ispedd litt maltaktig sødme. Fin kullsyre, medium. Kort.

Gulbrun farge med hvitt fluffy skum. Lukter malt og ganske tydelig sitronlukt. Malten er tydelig i smaken. Lettdrikkelig partyøl.

330ml bottle from Tesco’s, Camberley. Explicit label; golden amber pour with a thin white head; aroma of stewed grain; malty citrus taste; and a malty finish. But ignore the ratings - you’ll feel better if you drink this - it’s a charity nearly all RBers should be supporting.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear pale gold, thin, short-lived head. Aromas of lemon and light straw. Taste is more lemon, light malt. Pretty dull to be honest. OK.
