Description
In this episode, we step inside the historic Hook Norton Brewery to talk all things Hooky Gold.
Joining us are the men who know the liquid best: Managing Director James Clarke and Head Brewer Rob Thomson. First released as a seasonal zesty refresher, Hooky Gold has spent the last 20 years becoming a staple of the British summer. Rob and James share the secrets behind its unique hop profile, the challenges of brewing in a Victorian tower brewery, and why this golden ale continues to be a fan favourite two decades later. In this video, you’ll discover:
