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.

,Keg. A fairly hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. A fairly light and smooth palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth creamy sweet malts. Good bright pine. Good juicy hop fruits, a little orange, tangerine and mango. Light and semi dry finish brings more juicy hop fruits and a little hop spice. Light and semi dry finish. Nice

Draft. An unclear golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of citrus fruits, hops, spices, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, citrus fruits, spices, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.
