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.

Draught keg at Tønne,.light to middle gold, heaY with a tiny ring of white head. Good lacing. Light aroma of peach, some coconut, a little pineapple and passionfruit. Sweet taste, melon and more peach here, getting less of the passinfruit. Turns a bit biter in the finish. There's a vegetal note I'm not mad about but otherwise nice. Full body for the ABV, carbonation on the heavy side. A good beer, bouyed up even more by the decent 5.7% ABV.

Much more interesting on the nose than in the mouth. Hits everything it should aroma wise, but flavour wise, it’s lacking.

Clear amber gold with a creamy / frothy white head and a faint aroma of fruit malt. Fresh and a little bit fruity, some chewy malt with a click of floral bitterness and a dry finish.

A terrible pun. I can bearlee believe it (or should that be bearlieve it)... keg draught at Tønne, Leicester
Dark brown, ot very translucent with a small khaki/tan head. Aroma of caramel, char, treacle. A little bit of saccharin in the sweet taste. Light bittering hops nearer the finish which seem contraindicative of the burnt notes making it a little bit plastic. Light body, heavy carbonation. Reasonable.
