Description
The LHG Brewpub is an independent brewery and bar in the centre of Bristol.

We opened the doors to our brewpub on 13th June 2019, with the aim to create a beating heart at the centre of our business. A place for us to engage and interact with the people who drink our beer, and shorten the distance between production and glass. Our Brewpub was crowdfunded, with 1500 people investing in our small company. We are incredibly proud to be the custodians of a site that has over 250 years of brewing history within its walls.

Very slightly hazy gold with a frothy whte head and a soft marmalade and light cereal aroma. Light bodied, soft citrus notes, a tingle of zest and a little dollop of chewy malt, finishes dry and bitter.

Celebrated heist mastermind Willie Sutton escaped from prison on this drinking day in 1947. Clear golden, not maintaining much of a head, but in taste is quite interesting with plenty of candy-sweet tropical notes in both aroma and taste, within quite an easy drinking texture.

440ml can. Clear golden amber with an off-white head. Aroma of toffee/caramel malts, grapefruit, pine, resin. Taste of piney resin, grapefruit, orange, marmalade, hint of caramel, biscuity malt, good bitterness. Medium bodied.
Aroma seemed much maltier than the taste was, don't often get such a contrast between the two.
