Hogshead Bitter
an ale from
Theakston
Hogshead Bitter
This drink, which we class as a 'Malty, Hoppy Ale' (a Bitter), has a strength of 4.1% ABV.

Hogshead Bitter was first brewed in 1994 to commemorate the ‘Trussing In’ ceremony of one of our apprenticed craft Coopers. A hogshead is a 54 gallon cask that is used in the ceremony, an ancient ritual commemorating the completion of a Cooper apprenticeship and the commencement of life as a fully qualified Cooper.

Hogshead Bitter is a very traditional style of beer using the finest Maris Otter malt, combined with luscious cane sugars complimented by delicious, fruity Bramling cross hops to give a malty, crisp and hoppy flavoured ale.

So far, this is one of 11 beers from Theakston that have been sold at the Bake & Alehouse.
