Description
Mad Hatter Brewing Company was set up by Gaz and Sue in 2013, with just one grand in their back pockets, and a glorified home brew set up. The brewery has always punched above its weight, and was championed from the start by the brilliant Port St Beer House. They produce weird and wonderful beers alongside some classic pale ales, stouts and IPAs.

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines, Sheffield. Clear, deep chestnut brown. Thin and messy, lacing, lasting, beige head. Nose has cocoa powder. Earthy chocolate. A little milky, although there’s no lactose in this. Taste has some sweetness, and an earthy, woody bitterness. Light body. A tad watery. Light bitterness to finish. Ok.
