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. Clear golden with a creamy-frothy head. It's clean tasting and easy-drinking for its strength, which is masked to an extent by its fair tropical fruit aroma and taste. This is a little more stated in the latter.

Cask @ Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Golden-blonde with a creamy-frothy head. It's a dense hoppy-fruity session ale, with the latter mildly stewed in its flavour. This is the only beer that has survived from the Slightly Foxed days of this brewer and remains a fixture in its bar which is part of the Picture House building in Hebden Bridge. It may be a rebadge of Slightly Foxed Slightly Foxed ale.
