Hawkstone has stepped into the world of cask beer by partnering with Butcombe Brewing Co. to brew Hops & Glory, a modern 4.2% Real English Pale Ale that celebrates the “very best of British brewing”.

According to the companies, rom the fields where the ingredients are grown to the pint being enjoyed in the pub, Hops & Glory is a beer built around British craftsmanship, quality ingredients and a shared passion for great beer.

Brewed with six British-grown hop varieties, including First Gold and Olicana, alongside Maris Otter malting barley and pure Mendip spring water, Hops & Glory brings together some of the finest ingredients the UK has to offer.

The result is a bright pale gold ale bursting with vibrant citrus and tropical fruit aromas. On the palate, expect juicy grapefruit, fresh orange peel and a clean, refreshing finish that makes this a perfect pint for any occasion.

To give back to the industries at the heart of this collaboration, £10 from every cask sold will be donated to the Licensed Trade Charity and mental health charity Shout, supporting people working across the UK hospitality sector and the British farming community.

Jayson Perfect, chief operating officer at Butcombe Group, said: “At Butcombe, we’ve been brewing cask ale for almost five decades, so collaborating on a beer that celebrates the best of British brewing and farming was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up.

“Hops & Glory combines quality ingredients, brewing expertise and a shared love of great beer, resulting in a pale ale we’re incredibly proud to pour in pubs across the UK. It’s a celebration of provenance and craftsmanship, and we hope it encourages more people to discover and enjoy one of Britain’s greatest brewing traditions.”
