Celebrate 20 years of Hooky Gold – Thursday 30th April

Free samples of Hooky Gold will be pouring, and the brewers will be on hand to talk all things beer and the story behind the brew. The event will also support a meaningful cause. Landlord Paul Spinks has undertaken an extraordinary 200-mile cycle ride from Witney, Oxfordshire to his hometown of Hull, Yorkshire, in memory of his wife Fiona, who sadly passed away last year aged just 53. The “Highway to Hull” challenge aims to raise vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. www.justgiving.com/page/highway-2-hull

James Clarke, Managing Director of Hook Norton Brewery, said:
“Hooky Gold has become a real modern classic for us over the past 20 years—an ale that perfectly balances tradition with a more contemporary, aromatic hop character. It’s a beer that continues to win people over, whether they’re long-time Hook Norton drinkers or discovering us for the first time. We’re incredibly proud of its story, and even more so to be celebrating this milestone alongside such a meaningful cause. Paul’s ‘Highway to Hull’ challenge is truly inspiring, and we’re honoured to support his efforts to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support while bringing people together over a pint of Hooky Gold.”

Hooky Gold will be available throughout May and June in cask on the bars at the brewery, Hook Norton pubs and discerning free houses. It is also available all year round in bottle from the brewery shop, local retailers and online here.
