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.

Bottled. Clear, pale golden with a small white head. Almost neutral, light malty aroma and flavor. Flavor has some fruityness too. Goes well with Indian food, but nothing special. Rating: 4-3-4-2-9-2.2. 060210
Bottle. It pours a clear, golden body under a finger-thick dense, white head leaving some lacings. Fruity nose with pale malts and a touch of something alcoholic. Thin on the palate, and quite low on carbonation. Fruity flavor, but rather uninteresting. Some pale malts and the faintest touch of bitterness. Super-uninteresting, but drinkable. 120107

(Bottle 33 cl) Comes simply as "Hepworth Blonde" - nothing cool here. Unclear, pale golden with a small, white head. Lightly tart nose. Medium body with a marked malty sweetness and some lightly fruity notes. Almost no hops in the finish. Soft and smooth with a high drinkabilitry. 290106

A hazy light yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of straw, but also light notes of malt. The flavor has the strongest notes of citrus, but also a light malt note.

(Bottle 33 cl) Fully golden - close to amber - with a small, white head. Malty, lightly roasted nose. Fairly good, solid body with distinct, sweet malt and some roasted and caramelish notes. Dry finish. Quite OK. 281105

An amber beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of straw and caramel, and the flavor is pretty much like the aroma.

Golden to amber color, thin creamy head. Aroma of metallic green hops, some white sugar. Malty body, toffee, strong bitterness (good quality of English hop, partially aromatic), almost extreme at the end, with toffee again. Balanced, warming stuff, not too much complex nor exciting, but the more I drink it the more I like it ;-)
Don’t drink it too cold!
