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. Pours a fairly pleasant light golden, with a good head. A light floral aroma, with some hops and almost no malt. Taste of caramelized malt with fruity overtones . Light on carbonation, and very little bitterness. A sweet finish.

Cask at the Prince Arthur (JDW), Fleet. Amber with a dense cream head; aroma of English hops; crisp, hoppy flavour with a grainy body; the finish is fairly sweet with more hops. Not what I’d expect from a Harvest Ale, but rather good anyway.

500 ml bottle purchased at The Wine and Cheese Place in St Louis, Missouri. Pour is hazed orange golden with an off white one inch head that falls slowly with decent lacing. Aroma is big toasty malt, very much baking bread along with a nice underlying aroma of citrus honey hops. Taste is the earthy toasty breadiness of the malt, along with a mineral, almost spicy floral aspect. Interesting flavor. Palate is thin to medium, higher level of fine carbonation and a crisp finish. Quite easy to drink.

5ooml bottle. Hazy orange-tan color. Thin, soapy, off-white head. Mellow, malty aroma, almost a touch of soft peach. Creamy, soft on the palate with a piny dryness in the aftertaste. Some rich specialty malt over a toasty golden backbone. the hops really are pretty solid, and complement the fruity ale yeast tones. Solid beer.
