Established in 1849
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.

Keg at The Llandoger Trow, Bristol. Aroma is malty, grainy. Citrus edge. Clear gold. Thin foamy white head. Tangy citrus alongside rough malts. Underlying sweetness. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Refreshing enough Gold. No way a Pale Ale, but brewer's intent and all that.

Keg @ Firkin, Warrington. Dark amber with a thick smooth head. Crisp keg pour with a lightish malty character. Not particularly flouvoursome but fine enough.
