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.

Cask @ Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Hazy goldne with a creamy head. Its smoothness is a big characteristic, is light-hoppy too.

Keg @ Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Mildy hazy golden with a head. Fruity and mildly juicy in this respect, still recovering my taste after Covid so difficult to get a true idea of this brew.

Cask @ Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Cloudy dark amber with a small head. Has a bland English fruitiness, although given this was my first cask pull for over a year the texture was lovely and refreshing.
