Description
Commenced Brewing as O’Hanlons Brewery in 1996 in Vauxhall, London.

In 2000 moved to Whimple in Devon.

In 2013 was bought out and name changed to Hanlons.

Hanlons are a family owned-and operated craft brewery based in the picture-perfect countryside of Mid-Devon. We are dedicated to the task of producing truly iconic ales and our fantastic brewing team craft authentic British-made beers for the curious and experienced consumer. Our focus is on using high quality ingredients alongside sustainable and innovative brewing processes in order to create a consistently exceptional product time after time.

Our highly motivated, friendly team are driven by a shared vision that the care, attention and expertise of each one of us can be tasted in every drop of our award-winning ales. All beers are lovingly brewed on site and we are super proud of our extensive range including Yellow Hammer, Firefly Bitter, Port Stout, Stormstay, Citra IPA and our new CBD IPA.

We are obsessively passionate about what we do, and it is safe to say that our team is made up of unashamed beer enthusiasts! We feel that this is the key ingredient to our success and that our communal desire to produce the ‘perfect pint’ constantly drives us forward as a company. In fact, at Hanlons it is our firm belief that behind the success of every business, there is a family.

Sunday 23rd June 2019. Gravity poured pint in The Stag, Rackenford, Devon. Clear light blonde with a wispy white topping. Easy drinking session ale with a pleasant blend of semi-sweet maltiness and floral hop bitterness.

cask at Maltsters Arms, Tuckenhay. Nil aroma. Medium gold. Thinnest of translucent white heads. Barely there. Some vague sweet edged citrus starts off proceedings but it amounts to very little. Bitterness does kick in once we're heading into the finish alongside some herby umami but by then it's too late. Thin. Light. Average carbonation. Long dry finish. Yes, it's sort of yellow but, no, this isn't going to be hammering anyone or anything. Dull Gold.
