Description
The brewers at George’s have spent years perfecting their recipes. Making tweaks and changes from grain to glass to fine tune them in every way. From choosing the ingredients used to monitoring the water profile and yeast propagation to give you the perfectly refreshing taste.
After years of working as a brick layer Mark Mawson established the brewery in 2010. In honour of his late father who had introduced him into Real Ale; he named the brewery George’s Brewery; and set out to brew distinctive craft real ales in Great Wakering, Essex. The brewery presently has a range of between nine and twelve ales marketed under the names George’s Brewery and Hopmonster beers. The Hopmonster beers characterise the ‘alter ego’ of Mark and are therefore more hop forward and aggressive on the pallet. Which compliment the more traditional styles found in the George’s range.

Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours a slightly hazy “bitter brown” with medium sized foamy off-white head and good lacing. Malts dominate over traditional hops in the aroma, with a hint of nuts as well. In the mouth there is a battles between sweet and bitter with the former gaining the upper hand. Flavour has traditional hops, summer fruits, raspberries and plum, with hints of spice coming later. Slight bitterness in the finish. This is decent.

Malty, some light caramel and fruit notes. A bit sweet for a bitter?
