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.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Amber with a thin white head and a light fizz. Green leaves, fresh satsumas, hint of toffee sweetness, some spice in the background. Not what I expected from the name (the burnt bit is lacking for starters) but it's pretty fresh and tasty. Decent effort from Waddy's. The afterburp is a bit too leafy for my liking though.

Half-pint, cask ale at Uplands Tavern. Clear dark brown body, spotty lacing from a film-type layer. Rather inviting smell of mid-sweet brown malts, hints of dried fruits. Malt-fruity flavours, caramel and dark fruits. Malt-driven end with a bitter touch. Good bitter version. (Swansea 01.10.2018).
