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.

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 Cobweb tasting session with four friends, almost every beer being very old or just 'out of date' (mostly very old).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.

Cask handpull at Metropolitan Bar JDW London. Clear gold colour lasting white head some hop on aroma some hops in mouth. American citrus style hops. Moderate bitterness on the finish. Its an OK pale ale. Some more malt maybe needed. But citrus hops are attractive

Can 44 cl. Pours a clear, deep golden - almost amber - with a small, rough, white head. Rather metallic aroma. Medium body, sweet malt and some corn and brewing syrup. Subdued bitterness. Macro Pale Lager - not a Pilsner. 100825

Can 44 cl. Pours a clear, deep golden with a lacing, white head. Aroma of greasy hops, if anything. Medium body, very soft mouthfeel. Sweet maltiness and a somewhat bitter finish. Totally lacking dryhopping - but pleasant enough drinking. 090825

Cask at the Falcon (JDW), Wycombe. Golden-amber with a white head. Caramel and a vague fruitiness. A touch of lemon. It's not an APA; I'd place it somewhere between a golden ale and a bitter. It's ok albeit rather forgettable.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Almost clear deep golden, coarse head. Mild orange aroma. Sweet with light body and rounded mouthfeel. Sugared orange some grain. Low bitterness. More Elton John than Motörhead.

Can. Pours clear golden with airy white head. Clear aroma of malt and yeast, with notes of hops. Bitter, hoppy touches detectable in the overwhelmingly sweet (for the style) flavour of malt and yeast. Bitter and estery aftertaste with malty notes. Decent but not quite a typical Pilsener.

Can, 4.3%. Good hay aroma with a pleasant soapy/flowery touch. Clear dark golden colour. Big stable white head. The flavour is clean and malty with low bitterness, hint of floral hops, soap, dust, metal. Creamy mouthfeel.
