Description
Brewer of real ales, with over 150 pubs across the South of England. The original Northgate Brewery had been in existence since at least 1837. Henry Wadworth bought the company in 1875, moving to the present purpose built Northgate Brewery building in 1885. John Smith Bartholomew, Wadworth's son-in-law, became a partner in 1887, and it has been owned by the Bartholomew family ever since. In 2016 Wadworth brewery completed an ambitious 4 years investment plan to move all aspects of the brewery onto one location.

Another 500-year-old pub on the Thames. This is a fine Bitter, ordinary indeed. Also, I saw a fox walking down the street as I was about to come in. That's always a good sign!

A bottle at The George, Froome. ABV is 5.5. Pours a dark amber colour with a off white head. Aromas of citrus. Tastes of toasted malt, with spicy citrus. Quite a heavy ale for 5.5 ABV. Might need a second pass at this
