Description
Joseph Holt is a unique brewery: it embodies both traditional values and exceptional brewing. For more than 160 years the company has not only created and developed award winning beer, but also served the community of which it forms a part of. It has built sustainable jobs and worked with charities to deliver substantial benefits to people living in the brewery’s area of operations and beyond.
Established in 1849, Joseph Holt Ltd has been managed by its founding family for five generations. Throughout that time the company has been driven by traditions of professionalism, honesty and innovation. So the business, although rooted in the traditional values of a family firm with a reputation built on traditional draft and bottled beer, has always looked to evolve. The most recent developments in that evolution are the Crystal and Diamond range of lagers and the Golden Ale Two Hoots. These products join the collection of award winning lagers and excellent Smooth and Black keg beer.
The brewery has an established pub estate that is carefully managed to ensure that it is focused on growth.

500ml bottle from Morrisons. Pours very dark clear brown with a creamy head. Aromas of burnt sugar, faint dried herbs, some sweet creaminess, boozy fruitcake. Taste is instant coffee, cream, light chocolate. Thick mouthfeel. Dry finish. Good strong ale.

Bottle that Dad shared- cheers! Light amber with a thin white head and a too-prickly fizz. Leafy, grassy unripe aroma. Different on tasting though- honey, caramel and just a hint of lemon. Fuller mouthfeel than I expected for a pasteurised supermarket beer, but the prickles are annoying. Very mild bitterness at the end. Ok.
