Description
Nightjar Brew Co is the brand created by the team behind Slightly Foxed, established in 2011. This is a continuation of business – not one company going ‘under’ to re-emerge as another – same AWRS, VAT number, company number etc. After many successful years creating award-winning and popular cask beers, the brewery took a decision to undertake a significant rejuvenation.

But unlike a new entrant into the market, we come with many years of knowledge, learning, innovation, and expertise that’s mandatory for crafting a product that customers in 2018 are seeking out and expecting.

Keg @ Fox & Goose, Hebden Bridge. Hazy pale yellow-gold with a small head. It’s hoppy tropical fruity in both aroma and taste, although slightly more hop than fruit.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a pale yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Some generic citrus in the aroma, but not much else. Citrus and grapefruit dominate in the mouth. Initially slightly sweet, and becomes sharper later on with a dry metallic tang. Reasonable.
