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.

1/3 pint @ Anspach taproom, London.
Couleur pâle, col crémeux tenace blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur un généreux bouquet houblonné - floral, UK avec des éléments proches d'une ESB - caractère malté perce en rétro-nasal avec une belle balance.
Palais reste sur une belle base anglaise - nitro goodness, malté, avec un léger support de fruits rouges - effet un peu yaourt mais sans tomber dans l'infection - note de fruit de la passion avec un support malté qui revient en fin de bouche - finement chocolaté.
