Rich ruby porter with a combination of subtle flavour notes of vanilla, treacle and roast malt gives an initial rich sweetness leading to a velvety chocolate finish. Shropstar joined the selection of Hobsons beers in 2019. Shropstar is a crisp pale ale, brewed with Mandarina Bavaria & Huell Melon hops. Thirst-quenching and refreshing with floral notes. Brewed to celebrate Severn Valley Railway’s Manor Class steam locomotives – Erlestoke, Bradley and Hinton. As a company we have committed our ongoing support to Severn Valley Railway by becoming a member of the SVR Charitable Trust set up to raise vital funds to preserve one of Britain’s finest heritage railways.Our original brew, Best Bitter is a pale brown to amber medium bodied beer with strong hop character throughout. It is consequently bitter, but with malt discernible in the taste.

Rich auburn ale with complex malty flavours and a richness balanced by the clean hoppy finish. A signature brew for Henry Hobson that embodies the Hobsons art of brewing beyond their weight. Town Crier is a full-flavoured golden ale with a big voice. The elegant straw-coloured bitter has a hint of sweetness which is complemented by subtle hop flavours leading to a dry finish. The nose of crisp fruit is apparent with a refreshing balance of taste, a bitter which is supremely consistent and full of flavour. Dedicated to serving up the finest beer for your enjoyment, we combine the traditional craft of brewing with the highest quality locally sourced ingredients. In 2010 we embarked on an initiative to source locally grown Maris Otter malting barley, a variety recognised in the industry as being the best malting barley available to produce high quality beers with great taste. A small producer’s group was set up with the objective to establish a sustainable supply chain of locally grown malting barley. By setting up a local supply chain of Maris Otter malting barley has enabled the brewery to complete the loop of producing a local pint, as the hops are already grown locally some seven miles from the brewery.

A vibrant blond beer with a light fizz and sweet floral aroma. The initial sweetness gives way to a refreshing burst of hop flavour and a crisp dry finish.

A limited edition beer brewed to celebrate King Charles III’s Coronation, taking place Saturday 6th May 2023. Sovereign will be making its way to pubs from 1st May, just in time for the Coronation. Hobsons Brewery set out producing real ale in Cask for public houses within a 50-mile radius of the brewery, as demand increased and the taste for Hobsons real ale spread Hobsons became available as a bottled conditioned beer in 2002.A champion dark mild with a smooth character and taste notes of chocolate malt gives this beer plenty of flavour and aroma that belies its strength.

Dhustone Stout is a smooth easy drinking stout with underlying liquorice notes. The dark stout is brewed with Maris Otter malting barley sourced through our network of local growers and hop varieties Fuggles, Progress and Columbus.
