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.

Bottle shared with Lyoli. Pours a vibrant orange-gold with a modest, foamy white head. Malty aroma with some nutmeg or something and some orange hops. Very sweet, with maybe some sugary syrup, light bread, earth, orange citrus and flower bitterness. Light to medium in body with lively carbonation. A reasonably well balanced finish with very subtle clover honey, more bread and some further citrus hops. Not a terrible beer by any means.

Bottle, Asda, Liscard. Darkish amber pour with a small off white head. Sweet malty nose with some vague fruit. Similar themes continued on into the flavour. Mid range bitter finish. Unremarkable on the whole, but solid enough fayre and much better than anticipated. Just think, if you drank 15 pints of this you’d most likely have a thunder chunder....
