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.

Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, grass, green apples, fresh leafy hops and a balanced resiny bitterness. Light body, dry. Tasty and refreshing. Quite nice.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby – as Hambleton Nightmare Porter. Pours a dark reddish brown with a small cream head. Aroma is mainly roasted malts with hints of chocolate. In the mouth the texture is slightly watery, but there is plenty of flavour. Dark fruits, liquorice and aniseed plus some chocolate and sweet malts. Finish is quite dry. This is pretty good all round – more please !

Adding in my 300 Beers To Try ticks because I want to see how they impact my stats and some of them I will never see again. Will however re-rate them when practical. The Crown in Hirsell updated their Twitter feed with what beers they had in once in about 8 years and this was one I was after so quickly headed there. It was fine.
