Hopshackle
Microbrewery
in Market Deeping,
Lincolnshire,
England 🏴
Owned by
Bowler’s Brewery
Established in 2006
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 [2010 vintage, #1439/1600]. Jet black colour with small, creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Roasty, chocolately, malty spicy aroma, notes of dark chocolate, couverture, liquorice, a touch of marmite, roasted nuts, dark caramel, ashy overtones. Taste is roasty, chocolately, dark malty, notes of dark chocolate, Belgian chocolate, some couverture, liquorice, a sweet-ish touch of treacle, caramel, roasted nuts, a minimally ashy touch, bitter hoppy counterpart. Oily to viscous texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, soft carbonation. In these flourishing flavoured times a nice reminder of what a classic if not historic Imperial Stout can be. Pretty good.
