Hook Norton Brewery, which is celebrating its 175th anniversary this year, has released details of its 2024 range of cask ales.
The first two of these seasonal specials are already on the bar. Outside Half, the rugby themed amber ale, is there as the Six Nations tournament continues. And Double Stout, brewed to an original 19th century recipe, delivers a smooth chocolate, coffee, and caramel experience.
Long-running and much-loved classics, such as Haymaker Premium Pale Ale and Twelve Days Porter are joined by new arrivals.
These will include Lock Steady, an easy drinking, low-strength (2.5% ABV) pale ale with no concessions made on flavour, and Autumn Ways, with a floral aroma and soft dark fruit flavour.
“We’ve worked hard on this year’s range, and it includes a great mix of our classic beers we all love and look out for and some really exciting new styles that we think will tick the variety box people are looking for more and more these days,” said Hook Norton managing director James Clarke.
The range of cask ales will be available throughout the year on the bar at the brewery, and in Hook Norton pubs and other venues across Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. The majority will also be available in bottle.
