== Hook Norton Brewery ==
Hook Norton Brewery is a regional brewery located in the village of Hook Norton, Oxfordshire, England. Established in 1849, it is one of the few remaining family-owned breweries in the United Kingdom. The brewery is known for its traditional brewing methods and a range of cask ales.
History[edit | edit source]
The brewery was founded by John Harris in 1849. The Harris family has maintained ownership through successive generations, ensuring the preservation of traditional brewing techniques. The brewery building itself is a five-storey Victorian tower brewery, which is a rare example of a working tower brewery in the UK.
Brewing Process[edit | edit source]
Hook Norton Brewery uses a combination of traditional and modern brewing techniques. The brewery still employs a steam engine, which was installed in 1899, to power some of the brewing processes. The brewing water is sourced from a spring located on the brewery site, and the brewery uses locally grown barley and hops.

Hook Norton Brewery produces a variety of beers, including:
- Hooky - A classic session bitter with a balance of malt and hops.
- Old Hooky - A premium ale with a rich, fruity flavor.

- Twelve Days - A strong, dark ale brewed for the Christmas season.
