Description

I have been commercially brewing now since November 2006 ( there is still only myself here !!! ) . Since my last update some interesting new beers have been produced , inspired by some of the fantastic beers I have tried not only from the UK but also from the rest of the World in particular the USA .

I have also tried some new ingredients in my beers one of which was a heavily peated whisky malt which came with a warning from the maltster " be careful it's very smoky !" . I added some to my Historic Porter recipe and it worked really well , every pub that had it asked for it again , one pub took 3 casks !

In 2023 Bowler's acquired the brand and recipes for Hopshackle Ales. Hopshackle’s multi-award winning real ales were produced from its brewery in Market Deeping. Upon his retirement, the previous owner wanted a ‘safe pair of hands’ to entrust the ales that had he had developed over the previous 17 years, and we are delighted to continue the Hopshackle legacy.

275ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours hazy copper, thin white head. Aromas of sherry, nuts, dried fruit, cooked apples. Taste is sweet sherry, more dried fruit. Quite thin on the body, sweet, burnt finish. Held up better than the vc I reckon.

275ml bottle from Beers of Europe, bit of a bargain as it’s approaching BBE. Pours clear golden amber, thin ring of white head. Aromas of orange soap, slight raw booze. Taste is a little musty, but we’ll forgive that given the age. Taste is sweet, more barley wine territory now, but noticeable oranginess from the hops, if not much bitterness. Enjoyable.
