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.

Two and a half hand pulled pints in The Mitre, Witheridge (Devon) at lunchtime on 21st May 2025. Lovely ruby red body, clean and clear, off white crown on each pour. Malty and orchard fruits in the aroma and taste, easy going beer and an ideal lunchtime quaffing ale.

murky brown, with zero head. Aroma is very malty, and there are some hops in there. I’m loving the caramel notes laced with some subtle fruit, and a touch of alcohol. Flavour is so smooth, and complex. Lots of stuff going on here. Caramel maltiness takes over, butt he fruit comes through. Subtle spice, man this reminds me of a wicked sherry/spice cake. Mouthfeel is thick, and sweet, and super super smooth. YOu can feel the alcohol as it soothes, and warms as you swallow. Wow, a true delight. I"m glad i grabbed a bunch, can;t wait to see what this turns into.
