About
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.

This beer is brewed under many guises, but recently dropped to 3.4%, and is noticeably weaker and less flavoursome. Very easy to drink though.

Can shared at home, köszi Tomi! Pours deep, clear golden with white head. Nose is herbal, lightly grassy hops. Taste is moderately sweet and bready first, but that herbal hoppy character takes over quickly, closing with a long lasting finish. Nothing to write home about, but actually a pretty decent pilsner.

Grey squirrels were introduced to Britain in 1876. I'm not sure when Camerons introduced this lager, probably a batch of another one of their own lagers. Nevertheless , it's clean, and crisp.

One-third pint, shared with Finn. Misty golden body, dotted spots on the glass from a filmy layer. Moderately grassy hops on the nose, a citric scent to it. Decent hop fruity taste, citrus, and soft malts. Fruit-malty finish. Satisfying. (Liverpool, 13.02.2025).

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso l'orzo tostato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma color marrone chiaro resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente rossiccio. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è normale e permane in maniera sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, frutta secca, pane tostato, un accenno di resinoso ed erbaceo.

Draft at Head of Steam - Sheffield. Light amber pour, clear when settled, creamy off-white head, thick lacing. Light malty aroma with some fruity notes. Taste adds in notes of tea and tobacco, malty. Lovely body, but a really quick finish
