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.

Dark brown colour. Has a light caramel malty sweetness. A shame that this is so watery and thin.

Clear mahogany brown colour. It has a dry taste with a bit of wood. Good example of a traditional cask bitter.

Cask at the Watford Beer Festival 2013. Poured a dark ruby colour with a scummy beige head. Aroma of caramel, roasted malts and leather. Dark fruit flavours with maple and malty sweetness. Palate was quite light with some raisins, burnt toast and sugary syrup.

500ml bottle at home. Pours clear dark yellow, little to no head. Aroma has that dirty sweetness honey has, plus a floral note. Quite thin, but an easy enough beer to quaff.
