Description
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.

Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Beer Festival 2025, Beer#4. Golden coloured and hoppy-sweet in both aroma and taste, with a developing bitterness in its aftertaste.

I once convinced a young colleague of mine that Blood Oranges' actually contained blood! Hazy pale golden appearance. Orange and stone fruit here, but the citrus element is dominant. Very fruity nevertheless and plenty in aroma too.

Found a new craft place for this one, unlikely but is registered with Untappd so Sandinista in Manchester is getting a lookin for my first time tonight given I knew what was on offer before I walked in. This one from their taps is pretty good with the mango, but its sugariness and sweetness gives this hazy blonde beer a sort of cinnamon style edge, it's all fruit though.

It's a shame Schrödinger's cat was never given a proper name!!! His bear beer name could easily be called hoppy and fruity in both aroma and taste, with a balance between the two, with a crisp texture too. Hazy blonde appearance.
