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.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Pours golden yellow, quite translucent with a big white head. Quite fizzy in the mouth, with a bit of carbonation. Smells quite like a shandy, quite citrus hoppy, bit of grass too. Some slight creaminess. Taste is quite straightforward, but is refreshing. Quite a crisp finish. Not bad.

Bottle. 3.5%. BBD of August 1990. Not sure who provided this one, but it was opened at St Mars of the Desert during a meet Ron Pattinson shindig. Clear, deep brown. No head. Remarkably viscous in the glass. Nose has raisin and date. Fig. Some fudgy chocolate. No off notes at all. Taste is sweet and a little vinous. Light body. Still a hint of carbonation. Silky on the palate. Sweet and vinous finish. Remarkably good condition and really tasty, too.

Bottle from Asda. Deep chestnut in colour, with a moderately-sized, off-white, head that left lacing down the glass. A very easy drinking brown ale, with brown sugar, a touch of berry fruit and nuttiness, before a very soft finish. Fine.
