Description

Hambleton Brewery was born in 1991, when Nick Stafford decided to start a brewery at the bottom of his in-laws’ garden.in a converted outbuilding at the brewer's in-laws house in Holme-on-Swale. Success of the beers lead to a need to expand which resulted in a moved to a location at the opposite end of the village, The Brewery, Holme-on-Swale, in 1994. Brewing capacity was doubled in 2000. The brewery relocated to its current address in 2007.

[Cask] An orange beer with a fine small head. The aroma is lovely hoppy. The flavor is cask-flat with notes of oranges and hops. A nice bitter.

Sampled cask conditioned at the Danish Beer Festival.
Pale amber. Hay aroma. Sweet and medium bodied with big grassy hoppiness a nd long really bitter finish.

I love this porter. Excellent chocolatey aroma with a tinge of roastiness. Flavor is more of the same: really smooth chocolateyness and a nice roasted finish. Dark brown-red with large solid head, heavy lacing. Overall just nice, and pairs well with food.

Very dark brown ale with dry, toast-like flavours and a touch of wineyness in the finish. Fishman is right - there are so many better English porters on the export market (Fuller's, Sam Smith's, Salopian Entire Butt)
