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.

Aroma av sitrus og kokte grønnsaker. Smaken er vassen og tynn, litt sitron, ellers nesten heilt smaklaus.

500ml bottle from Real English Drinks. Gluten Free. Black brown colour, bubbly beige foam head and aroma of roasty malt, ashy, milk chocolate, coffee. Taste is dark malty, earthy, roasty, dried fruity, with some chocolate and coffee, and nutty bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, roasty bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.

Bottle from wee local shop in Alfama, Lisbon. Appearance - golden and clear. Thin white head. Nose - hemp, corn, green beans and vegetable oil. Taste - more corn and now some bread. Green beans at the back. Palate - light bodied, rich middle and balanced bitterness. Overall - this is a more than decent lager, perhaps heading into Pilsner style.

Freebie from Kelvedon Spice with my ginournous takeaway. Clear deep gold, decent white head. Palate is on the soft side for a lager but then this is a curry lager so probably designed not to be gassy. Smooth malts and some reasonable hoppage. What let's this one down is the high esters. Very banana esters. Still, half a bottle washed this spicier elements of me dinner down.
