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.

Half-pint, 3.8 % abv, shared with Finn. Misty golden body, spotty lacing from a remaining white head. Moderately pale malty aromas with a herbal touch. Impacts of lemony hops and pale malts to the taste profile. Mid-sweet malty ending. Clean on the swallow. Satisfying. (Liverpool, 12.02.2025).

Well kept half-pint, shared with Finn. Decent pearl white head over a clear amber body, fair lacing. Inviting hop-malty aromas, mild caramel and grass. Fine blended taste of semi-sweet caramel, toffee, bread, and leafy hops. Bittersweet ending. Decent bitter version. (Liverpool, 12.02.2025).

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. A dull amber pour with a tight cream head; malty and nutty aroma; sweet caramel malt taste with some berry fruit and a hedgerow hop bitterness; leading to a crisp finish. Drinkable but unexciting.
