Hobsons- 'Under the hat' blog

Introducing Zephyr Lager: Brewed with the Wind, Inspired by Sustainability At Hobsons Brewery, we’ve always believed in crafting beers that not only taste exceptional but also reflect the values at the heart of our brewery. With that in mind, we’re proud to introduce Zephyr Lager—a crisp, pale, English-hopped lager brewed with care and sustainability in every pint.

Introducing Our Updated Core Keg Brand at Hobsons Brewery We are thrilled to announce an exciting update to the branding of our core keg range at Hobsons Brewery. This development has been inspired by the launch of our brand-new beer, Zephyr English Hopped Lager. With Zephyr leading the charge, we saw a fantastic opportunity to align all our keg badges under a cohesive and recognisable brand image.

Revolutionising Real Ale: Introducing Easy Cask At Hobsons Brewery, we’re passionate about bringing the best of real ale to every venue, big or small. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Easy Cask, an innovative system designed to make serving cask beer easier, more efficient, and accessible to a broader range of outlets.

First released as a colab with Brew By numbers, Brewed first in 2019 but now a top quality session beer in our core range. Originally called Mosaic and Citra!

Why brew a Green Hop Beer? For us it embellishes natural brewing and celebrates the British hop harvest, we’re passionate about supporting local farmers and using the best ingredients to brew interesting beers. Green Hop beers give a different type of flavour and aroma which is fresh hop flavour with some grassy and “green” notes.

 A rich nutty brown ale with earthy undertones and notes of caramel and toffee. An all-British line up of hops in Northdown, Target and East Kent Goldings make for a complex, smooth and beautifully balanced beer.

At Hobsons, we’re tipping our hat to NORTH with our latest collaborative beer. Olicana is a punchy IPA, expect tropical fruit flavours and aromas with a complex bitterness.

Zany is a Harlequin Hop Pale Ale bursting with tropical fruit flavours and aromas including passionfruit, peach and pineapple.

Bootiful is a particularly special beer, it’s been designed and brewed by our very own Colin Booton, who’s been part of the team here for 7 years now!
