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.

Bottle. Beautiful red-brown colour. Smells burnt, lots of alcohol and some bad chemical tones. Fruity taste. Too much alcohol. Sticky chemical aftertaste. I remember this one a lot better. I will put the other bottles i have in the cellar.

2008 Bottle from Systembolaget. It pours dark red with a tiny head which looks like wash detergent foam. Smells a lot like sparkling wine with some grapefruit notes. Surprisingly easy to drink. Ill cellar some and look forward to taste them in a few years!

Cask conditioned at Cockney Pub, Århus
Blond color, thin head. I can’t find wheat presence here; it’s mild, simple, but with some light fresh aroma, citrusy, with some malt flavor (almost crispy) and a quite strong bitterness. Drinkable.

Cask at the Three Mariners, Hythe, Kent. Hazy gold with a ring of white head; malty aroma; thin and watery with some malt, suagar and hops. Rather plain and boring.
