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.

330ml panda from LCB. Pours a dark brown with small beige top. Nice aroma of roasted malt, chocolate biscuit, oats, coffee, hay. Taste maintains that malt complexity with coffee and roast notes, some caramel, biscuit, liquorice, and a light hoppy spice finish. Medium bodied, drying, fine carbonation. Excellent.

[Cask at that Ale House, Reading.] A pale amber pour with a tight white head; grainy aroma; sweet grainy taste; and a grassy finish with some esters. Rather uninspiring.
