About
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 at The Stag, Chorleywood, Herts. An amber/brown coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Fruity, malty, caramel taste and aroma. This was in pretty good condition and actually quite drinkable.

Cask at random pub near the British Museum. A deep amber copper coloured pour with a loose beige head. Aroma is semi sweet toffee apple, raisin, caramel, twig. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, some diacetyl, toffee, cakey, malts, some spice. Pretty boring trad, lifeless stuff.

Historical tick which I am adding as a rate so that I can see the impact it has on my stats. 500 Beers To Try Before You Die. This was one of the beers that really made me question Protz's judgement. Was still drinking pints at the time and left most of it. Purchased at their Soho pub.
