Hook Norton is Steaming On
Steam engines and real ale combine for Hook Norton’s seasonal offering this November.
Steaming On, a 4.4% abv reddish-brown ale, was first brewed in 1999 to celebrate the centenary of the brewery’s steam engine, which is still in use.
The brew uses a small amount of peated malt, normally used in whisky, to create a smoky flavour as well as Fuggles, Goldings and Challenger hops.
It goes well with game dishes and more robust flavours, managing director James Clarke said.
