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.

Amber De Luxe from Howling Hops

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured an orange amber with a thin white head. The aroma is rich malty and hoppy. The flavour is rich hoppy, liqourice, spicy and with loads of pepper on the palate. A super beer that tastes a little more like a DIPA.
