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.

6.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottle from Beers Of Europe, King’s Lynn; brewed March 2009, bottle 107/1600
Hazy brown color with medium sized creamy head. Aroma of (some) chocolate and light soap. Good body strength, round mouthfeel; it has some chocolate flavor, and a bit of an artificial note; moderate residual sweetness; light liquorice in the end. Far from spectacular.
