Description

In 2011 we Howling Hops reopened the Cock tavern on Mare street as Hackney’s first brewpub. The brewery expanded a few times but still couldn’t really keep up with the demand. So in 2015 the brewery moved to the current address in the heart of Hackney Wick.

Howling Hops brew bold, modern, uncompromised, flavoursome, generously hopped beers. All our beers are unfiltered, unpasteurised and suitable for vegans. We still stick to our early philosophy of ‘make some interesting beer’, although not every one is different these days. We have a core of 4 beers that we brew regularly, a couple of beers we brew seasonally and every 3 or 4 weeks we brew a different single batch beer.

Tap at Waterloo Tap. Aroma has spice and doughy malts. Fruity streak. Hazy-opaque gold. Thing foamy white head also has decent lacing. Flavourwise it has spice and sour fruit over sweeter fruity and a doughy element. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat-soft carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Nice enough HSIPA.

440ml can. Pours a slightly hazy amber red with a beige head. Aroma of biscuity and caramel malts, slightly earthy, and some piney hops. Taste of biscuit and caramel malt, toffee, piney hops, citrus peel, assertive bitterness. Medium bodied.

Hazy golden amber with a frothy white head and a jammy hop aroma. Smooth and malty, fruity with resinous hop bitterness and a dry bitter fruity finish.

Pigs Ear 2025. Gravity. Rather bitter. Ashy and roasty. Quite dry. Burnt toast. Not bad.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 12th November 2025. Deep copper with shallow, yellowy white foam affording full lacing. Malty aroma. Nutty maltiness in-mouth and a finish of spicy and grassy hoppiness. Smooth mouthfeel and a light body.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 11th November 2025. Dark brown with shallow foam and scant lacing. Rich and intense roast malt aroma and liquid pass. Satisfying roast malt finish of lasting duration. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Absolutely superb.
