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.

Malt forward English IPA, some fruity hops, but the sweet grain notes dominate. (BB 9 May 2024 might explain a bitโ€ฆ gluten free?)

500ml bottle from Sandy Balls Holiday Village farm shop, also drunk at Sandy Balls Holiday Village. Pours a clear gold, white head. Gentle pale malt aroma, not detecting the agave, nor to taste either. Obviously light bodied, very gentle sweetness, gentle pale malt. Standard AF lager, light bitterness, gassy. Fine for what it is.
