Description
Camerons Brewery is now the only remaining major independent family brewer in the North East of England. Evidence of brewing at the site in Hartlepool dates back to 16th century and The Lion Brewery has been home to Camerons since 1865. We use a selection of the finest ingredients sourced both locally as well as using new hop varieties from around the world. The brewing team at Camerons combine these with water drawn from two of the artesian wells located 230ft below the brewery. Our aim is to produce a range of fantastic beers that has the unique combination of craft, heritage & innovation brewed into every pint.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Malty with less hop than expected for an "APA". Toasted malt with a touch of caramel and orange. Medium bitter with a little sweetness. Basic but drinkable.

Thursday 16th October 2025. Cobweb tasting session with four friends, almost every beer being very old or just 'out of date' (mostly very old). My place being the venue. 500ml bottle (BBE Oct 2007), only 19 years young. Bottle in good condition, beer also fairly well preserved considering, cheers Mat for storing this one. Typical northern bitter with a malty front and main base flavour, happy memories of this beer before the days of tracking my drinking and the internet. Scored kindly.
