Description
McMullens was founded in 1827 by Peter McMullen and since then we have continued brewing in Hertford without a break. The heritage of AK, for example, can be traced back to 1833. We have protected the company’s brewing history throughout that time by acquiring and investing in the public houses. Our pubs are run by our managers or business partners and provide an exclusive market for our beers. To this day, the McMullen family remains firmly committed to our beers because they act as the ‘flag’ for our business.

Cask handpull at Nag’s Head, Covent Garden. Copper brown colour with thin lasting beige head. A bit more bitter than the IPA I had side by side with this. OK bitter with decent bitterness on finish but it is bitter rather than flavour led hops on finish. Just a bit too unsubtle on the bitterness
