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.

Can. A light haze on this yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light soft pale malts, a mild but pleasing creamy sweetness. Light cooling pine into a savoury skunk streak. Sabro obvious with slightly ripe pineapple and a trace of coconut. Broad spectrum hop fruits on the back end, fairly juicy citrus and tropical fruits. A modest pinch of hop spice on the light finish. Good juicy hop fruity IPA. Rich and rewarding.
