Hooky on Tour will see the brewery visiting all of its pubs using a variety of modes of transport – on foot, on cycle, motorcycle, Land Rover, and even shire horse.

While they are at the pub, Hook Norton beers will be free of charge so customers can raise a toast. The brewers will be on hand to talk all things beer and give away prizes in a quickfire, extremely easy pub quiz!

“As a brewery, we would obviously be nothing without our pubs who look after and serve our beer at its best quality,” said Hook Norton managing director, James Clarke.

“We wanted to visit them all to say thank you and celebrate everything that is great about the local pub.”

The first tour date is 1st April, from noon when James will be riding the brewery’s shire horse Brigadier to The Pear Tree Inn, The Sun Inn, and The Gate Hangs High in Hook Norton.
