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.

2009-06-16, Cask Conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 6-3-4-2-9=24
Amber color, still. Initially the aroma shows some good hop, but it quickly disappears. Very light caramel flavor, soft mouthfeel also because of the missing carbonation, correct bitterness. Absolutely anonymous.

2008-11-05, Cask Conditioned at J.D. Wetherspoon - The Pommelers Rest, London, 5-4-6-3-10=28
Nice amber color. Simple Bitter, reasonable caramel flavor and bitterness, too light aroma (maybe a bit floreal), but also a light metallic touch. Too easy.

Cask at the Wharf, Aalborg. It pours a clear golden body with a thin layer of white bubbles. Looking delicious. Pineapple and grapefruit on the nose, with malt in the background. Quite weak but pleasant. Nice fruity flavor with some lemon and a touch of grapefruit and pineapple. A little malt too. There’s some bitterness towards the finish. Medium body. Good drinkability and refreshing, but quite ordinary. (081022)
