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.

Cask (Old Monkey, Manchester) - Very dark brown with red tinges. Raisins, chocolate and black bread in the aroma. Malty and slightly roasted taste with notes of chocolate, coffee and raisins.

On tap in Ramsey, Isle of Man. Has a solid foam and a clear yellow leaning toward gold. Soft fruity hop hints.Flavour is middling caramel and malt but nothing memorable. It's a good mix of sweet and oily. Just adequate and not especially exciting.

Bottle at my parents, from one of the German discount supermarkets. Malty aroma. Medium gold. Visibly bubbly plus bubbly white head. Some bitterness but It's all about the malts. Not getting so much of the promised fruit. Light-medium bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long finish. Drinkable but nothing to see here.

Bottle at home from Laithwaite. A good pour with a light aroma of maple. The first sip was that of a bitter which was immediately mown down by a huge and artificial tasting sweetness. Blurgh! I tried a few more and the sweetness become more overbearing and unpleasant. The rest was tipped down the sink.

Weird... could have sworn that I rated this but must have not saved it. Malty aroma. Dark cola brown. Creamy white head. Light bitter. Light bodied. On the thin side. Average carbonation. Abrupt finish.

Bottle from ASDA, Manchester. Clear copper-amber with no head. Sweet malty ale, although never too stated with its malts, nor in its honey flavourings.

Pint on tap at the Railway, Buxton. Pale amber beer with creamy white head. Highly carbonated. Nose is sweet, toasty, and malty. Light, refreshing taste. Finish is metallic and sweet. Nice lager, easy drinking and full of flavour.
