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.

Hand-pulled half-pint in The Shrewsbury Hotel (a Shrewsbury Wetherspoons) on 25th October 2021. I didn't get any smokiness in this ruby coloured beer, decent smooth white head. Plenty of malty molasses within the brew though. I had this beside a Black sheep Monty Python's Dead Parrot and a Bath Queen of Hearts, they all were very similar taste wise.

Gravity cask at Standing Order, Derby. Pours a dark reddish-brown with minimal head. Aromas of toffee, treacle and a slight smokiness. In the mouth the texture is rather watery. Flavour is malts and toffee on a caramel base, with some smokiness coming through later. Disappointing.

Yet another beer that I have been drinking for years, but haven’t got round to rating before. Including one well remembered occasion in the Westminster Arms, WC1. Anyway, cask in the White Swan, Littleover – where it was the only non GK cask beer. Pours a dark copper with a small off-white head and good lacing. A stuffy aroma of malt and nuts, with a hint of cherries. In the mouth the initial impression is of sweet maltiness. However, soon a fruity freshness comes through with raspberries and underlying nuttiness. Hints oa ginger and spices as well. Finish is quite bitter. This is a classic beer, that still stands up well.
