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 at RHS Harlow Carr Beer & Cider Festival. Golden amber with a thick white head; fruity apricot aroma - not clear whether this is due to the addition of actual apricots, or is a characteristic of the hops used; sweet fruity taste with a malty body; and some resinous hops in the finish. A pleasant golden ale.

Cask @ The Richard Oastler, Brighouse. Blonde with a head. Has a floral aroma and taste with some sugar evident. Has a pale ale dryness with a low lemon citrus fruit flavour. As this is a house ale it could be a rebrand of ’Flying Fox’ which is similar, but I am unable to confirm this.
