About
A hardworking northern brewery.

We’re on a mission to grow Beartown by challenging ourselves and our community to dream big. It’s that simple. However It takes decades of dedication to truly understand that progress can’t be rushed. We understand that time doesn’t guarantee anything but a journey to be shared and it’s exactly that which inspires us.

Beartown means more than a pint of beer, it’s a community of drinkers that identify with a cause to give back to their roots. A spirited belief in the power of persistence, creativity and that a pint tastes best when earned. We have a vision to spread our ethos, furthering the growing community of Beartowners and all whilst making great tasting craft beers that can be enjoyed by generations.

Cask at Ship Aground, Stafford. Pours almost black with a small tan head. There’s chocolate, coffee and roasted malts in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy with milky coffee, cocoa, roasted malts and some hints of cola. Some bitterness in the finish. This is a decent stout, but a bit too sweet for my taste.

5/10/2023. Cask at The Windmill, Stansted Airport. Pours clear amber ruby brown with a small bubbly/frothy just off-white head. Decent looking pint, if a little underfilled. Aroma is very fruity, malty, caramel, leaves, berries. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness with a slight tart edge. Moderate body, soft carbonation. Light drying bittersweet berry tart finish. It’s fine.
