    Hook Norton Brewery Co. Ltd

    The Hook Norton Brewery Company Ltd can trace it’s origins back to 1849. A young man by the name of John Harris moved into Hook Norton and set up business as a maltster. He soon started brewing and in 1872 built a small three storey brewery. As business increased, so these premises were out grown and in 1898 a new six storey brewery was built to replace it. Much of the original brewing equipment installed at this time is still in use today including the brewery’s showpiece, a 25hp steam engine, providing nearly all of the motive power.

    From beer to castle… it’s a long way! Endeavouring to comply with ever more strin-gent requirements, the master brewer carried out numerous tests before he produced a creamy dark beer. The fruit of his labours goes under the name of Kasteelbier. It combines the unparalleled quality of the past and a resolutely modern taste. Kasteelbier is a brown craft beer mild and tasty, fullbodied and creamy… It has a shelf life of several years.

    In honor of the 40th anniversary of the original release of Bitches Brew, Miles Davis’ 1970 paradigm-shifting landmark fusion breakthrough, we’ve created our own Bitches Brew – a bold, dark beer that’s a fusion of three threads imperial stout and one thread honey beer with gesho root, a gustatory analog to Miles’ masterpiece.
