Summer roars in with new seasonal beer

Cotswold Lion Hook Norton’s latest seasonal beer Cotswold Lion. After a successful launch in 2006, Cotswold Lion is back as a seasonal beer for May and June. When it was launched to celebrate the work of the 40th anniversary of the Cotswold Conservation Board it was the Hooky’s first single hop varietal beer – and it still is.

The beer is a pale, fruity ale, brewed with Maris Otter malt and hopped with Fuggles. Hook Norton’s 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.”
