Cotswold Lion will be late spring seasonal

April 11, 2008: Hook Norton has unveiled its latest seasonal beer. Cotswold Lion, a beer first brewed in 2006 to celebrate the work of the Cotswolds Conservation Board, will be on sale on draught throughout May and June.

It is the brewery's only single hop variety beer. At 4.2% ABV it is a pale, fruity ale, brewed with Maris Otter malt and hopped with Fuggles.

Hook Norton managing director James Clarke said: “This is the first time we have brewed a beer with just one hop variety. Fuggles are the noblest of English hops – full of wonderful fruit and floral flavours and aromas.”

The beer is named after a breed of sheep that helped make the Cotswolds the place it is today. Wool manufacturing and its subsequent decline has left the area with a living history of farms and cottages, market towns and villages. And, of course, marvellous pubs where locally-brewed Cotswold Lion can be enjoyed.
