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.

On tap at The Pullman Folkestone Tap Takeover. Clear mid brown red colour. Lasting beige head. Some red malts some rye malt some spiciness. Always a suckered for this style and this is good. Nice malty fullness with an extra spicy kick. Goodchoppy bitterness on the finish. Aroma like Lare Red from Sheps used to be. So some Turkish Delight rose aroma. Lovely
