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.

[i]Cask at The Nut Tree, Murcott, Oxon [/i] Dark golden beer with slight haziness and white head. This beer was sweet a bit tired and past its best to be fair still drinkable but will need to seek out again.

[i] Cask at Cropredy Festival, 11-08-07 [/i] Poured very clear golden with nice white head. Nice fresh hoppy aroma served a tad too cold which took the edge off of both taste and aroma slightly. Quite bitter, some vanilla, a little bit thin but not too bad.

Cask-conditioned at the Penny Farthing, Bristol. Amber with a decent off-white head. Slight hoppy aroma. Flavour was very thin - some soggy malt followed by the sour, acidic aftertaste that is typically Wadsworth.
