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 @ Gas Lamp, Manchester. Golden with a mild haze. Bland with a hint of the floral about it and a dryish aftertaste.

Cask @ Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Clear golden with a head. Hopped session pale in style. Not bad, not much going on here though.

On tap at The Star & Garter, Bromley. Hazy gold pour with a white head. Nose is mango, tangerine, zesty orange. Taste is orange marmalade, mango, papaya, spot of pineapple. Very fruity, very hoppy brew. Good stuff.

Cask @ Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Black with a creamy light-brown head. Coffee is dominant in both aroma and taste here, usurping any regular porter character, and lingers long in its aftertaste. It's also smooth tasting, and very palatable given its relatively easy strength.

Keg @ Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Hazy light golden, crisp tasting tropical fruity brew with a small head. Quite easy in texture and strength, but quite full tasting too. Some pine , which is most evident in its aroma.

Cask @ Fox And Goose, Hebden Bridge. Hazy golden with a small head. The mosaic hop is quite prominent here, as such its tropical fruity, sweetish with some perfume available too.

Keg @ Tap and Can. Unclear gold appearance, thin white ring atop. Fresh fruity nose, though not especially coconuty. Great sharp clarity of flavour, vibrant tropical citrus with subtle lemongrass and even more subtle coconut. Impressive big flavoured beer all the same.

Cask at Bottle & Barrel, Aberystwyth. Poured a mostly clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is lemon citrus, floral hops. The flavour is light bitter, with a smooth, malt, yeasty, light pepper spice, floral hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
