Based in Swindon and nearby Cricklade, the Hop Kettle Brewing Co. was founded by Tom Gee.

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. Rather than seeing beer as an established product in an established industry, we see it as a drink with no end of potential and variety. 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%!
