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. It pours a rather pale golden body. The head is large-bubbled and small, white color. Grainy, malty and lightly fruity aroma, almost honey-like, not that that makes it much better, itโs still boring and below mediocre. Thin, somehow sweetish mouthfeel with flavors of pale malt, grains, some sugar and honey, and a fruity touch. Maybe some honey here as well. Short, fruity and grainy finish with little or none bitterness. Boring. Boring. Unoffensive. The flavor isnโt bad though, quite quenching and refreshing, but utterly boring and lacking bitterness.

Bottle, Beers of Europe. Bit of a turkey really this one. Always wary of beers bragging about awards on the bottle. A copper coloured pour with a vanishing off white head. Very little flavour to speak of, has a vague sweetness that is not enjoyable. Lacking in any character. Didnโt finish. Booo
