With over two decades of experience in hospitality, we have the insider’s understanding of the drinks industry, and the technical knowledge required to create one-of-a-kind brews.

Hop Kettle Brewing Co. represents our means of exploring the possibilities of brewing, using a diverse range of ingredients to create beers with unique flavour profiles.

[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading.] A golden amber pour with a scattering of white froth; aroma of floral hedgerow hops; hoppy taste with a touch of spice and a sweet biscuity malt body; then a dry floral finish with a lasting bitterness. Very tasty.

Hoppy and quaffable. A bit too quaffable for 5%!
