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.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Amber with a white head and a light to moderate fizz. Excellent condition, well done 'Spoons. Nice and fruity up front, a little caramel, and then a dry twiggy finish with a lasting marmalade bitterness. Very drinkable, very moreish, a decent bitter this.

Cask at Bull & Stirrup, Chester. Pours a slightly hazy straw with a small white head. Not much of an aroma – just vague traces of malt and yeast. In the mouth this starts off quite sweet with a creamy texture, malts to the fore and hints of hops. Later some bitterness creeps in alongside some grains and lemongrass. There’s a little stickiness in the finish. This is reasonable – which is praise because I don’t normally like Beartown beers !

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.
