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.

21/11/2024. Cask at The Dove Street Inn Winter Beer Festival, Ipswich. Pours clear golden amber with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is hoppy, citrus, malt, fruits, flowers. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness and body. Soft carbonation. Drying finish. It’s fine.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a golden yellow with a small almost white head and good lacing. Floral hops are the mainstay of the aroma with some hints of tropical fruits. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy with a creamy texture. Floral hops again with some hints of citrus. Later on some traces of bitterness and grapefruit come through as well, leading to a slightly dry finish. Not a world beater but definitely reasonable. I would class it as a Golden Ale rather than a Pale though.

Keg draught at Tønne, Leicester. Looks like Heartown's attempt to Hone in on 'kräft'. Light golden yellow, hazy with a smallish thick white head. Light aroma: some melon, soft citrus, pear. Slightly sweet, more citrus and soft billowing malt flavour. Short finish. Light body with carbonation on the heavy side. It's okay.
