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 from RHS Wisley shop (we're those annoying people - seemingly the majority now - who have no interest in flowers and just want to give the kid a run). Aroma is initially sour but creamy chocolate then dominates. Opaque chestnut. Bubbly foamy off-white head soon develops pattern baldness. Medium sour fruit. Underlying earthiness and veg. Some sweetness into the finish. Some low key spice. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Fizzy carbonation. Dry finish. It's enjoyable enough and, I guess, different from a bog standard gold or bitter. However it's still somewhat boring. And, annoyingly, the chocolate from the aroma fails to particularly translate into the taste.

Tight white head stayed on a pale amber body. Pale malt aroma. Soapy tastes with pale malt, fake fruit & sugar. Vile!
