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.

Copperbrown beer with quite weak and blond head. Aroma is quite fresh, toffeish malts, some sweetness and citrus fruits. In flavour biscuity malts together with nice and medium bitterness in the flavour, also some pine needles and fruityness. Easy to drink but still quite nice. More refreshning fruits with more strenght for all elements would be great, now this beer disappears into mass of mediocrity.

Cask at the Crown and Anchor, Manchester. Slightly amber ale. Fruity, malty aroma. Has a round, fruity malt flavor; relatively sweet, but with great hopping to balance it out. Light to medium body, with a smooth, full flavor. Great hop finish that is long-lasting and bitter. Excellent.
