About
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.

12/2/2019. Can from Crosby Beer Shop, Merseyside. Pours cloudy oink with a small off-white head. Aroma of mouldy berries, sour blackcurrant, citrus and cheese. Light sweetness and bitterness with medium to heavy dose of sour. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Sour finish. Tasted good, not so keen on aroma.

28/1/2019. Bottle from Honest Brew. Pours pale gold with a small lasting bubbly off-white head. Aroma of fruit, yeast, peppery spice, herbs and a little fragrant tea. Medium plus sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, sticky texture, average carbonation. I liked this, lovely aroma especially. Bit gassy to finish though.

330ml bottle. Hazy, medium brown colour with huge, frothy, moderately lasting slightly lacing, dirty off-white head. Nutty malty, slightly bretty, funky and spicy aroma, hints of Hubba Bubba bubblegum, cinnamon, dusty yeasty overtones. Taste is slightly dry, tart-ish, spicy, sweet-ish nuttily malty basis, notes of cinnamon, a touch of morello. A bit weird.

Bottle, courtesy of minutemat, some time ago in an ELS, thanks! Pours unclear amber. Aroma is super vineous, almost no barley wine left. Body is heavy, dense and sweet. More wine, super intense. Not at all what I expected, but extremely well done!

Can split at CBC Covent Garden, thanks to Danny, 20/11/18 ... farewell Mad Hatter I imagine a decent enough brewer responsible for a good chunk of my Merseyside rates! Hazed pinkish gold with a light crimson cap. Nose is sweet berry fruits, strawberry jam, grass, airy malts. Taste comprises sweet malts, jammy berry pips, grass, lemon drizzle, toasted grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with moderate hop bitterness. Ok berrified number.

Can. RAD Beer. Dark straw colour. Light haze. Slim ring of white head. Nose has yoghurt. Mint. Cucumber. Some woody herb. Taste is dry, and lightly sour. Hint of milky sweetness. Dry and crisp on the palate. Fine and sharp carbonation. Clean, dry, and slightly sour finish. I suspect this’ll be the last beer I have from this brewer, so cheers!

Bottle from Homebrew Bottle Shop, Oxton in Birkenhead. Appearance - dark brown to black and very dark. Thin head. Nose - raspberry and light chocolate. Fairly tart. Taste - creamy chocolate and we'll integrated raspberry. Palate - creamy and medium bodied. Dry balanced finish. Overall - the nose was overwhelming raspberry. The taste had much more balance.

Craft TCR Bottleshare. Thanks to Dan the man for the can. A sad moment, my first Mad Hatter can but also one of the last beers I'll drink from this Brewery. They filled a niche but then lost their way a little, I will still miss them though. Hazy amber beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Smooth airy palate, a little soft, reasonable fine carbonation. Sweet floral berry fruits and emerging strawberries and cream. Someone said scones with strawberries and cream and that certainly fits as well. Light finish. Very amusing. So long Mad Hatter - it was fun.
