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.

Third, cask at Nightjar. Decent white head, clear amber-gold body, clingy lacing on the glass. Moderate aroma of leafy hops. Malt-fruity flavours hints of caramel malts and ripe fruits, slightly jam-like. Bittersweet endnotes. Just alright. (Hebden Bridge 04.07.2018).

Keg @ Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a thick frothy head. Fairly strong for a session ale, but not overbearing by any means so I guess that's why it's named as such. Hoppy.
