Wonderful people, great beer and an excellent training centre.

We visited and toured the Brewery last night with our local landlord as part of the Temple Bar group from Ewyas Harold and would just like to say a big Thank you to Alex and Barry for the informative tour and very enjoyable evening they provided. The smooth dark Shropshire Stout proved to be my favourite drink which I had not tried before but will now know to look for. A night we all enjoyed so Thank you once more for looking after us all so well.

Town Crier real ale. Literally the best keg ale I've ever tried. Smooth and tasty!

Town Crier has to be one of the best beers ever sampled. Certainly among most refreshing. Glad I discovered it on trip to Severn Valley Railway. Just need to try track down some bottles back here in Scotland.

The attention to detail that they show to every aspect of their business is exceptional. After having the privilege of touring the brewery yesterday it shows why the Hobsons products are consistently brilliant. Thank you Reuben from all of us at The Horns for an excellent tour and no doubt Town Crier will remain our best selling ale!

Still my favourite brewery after 12 years of drinking ale all over Great Britain.

My wife Chris and I attended the "Stout and Stew" night on Thursday 15 March.

The evening kicked off with a couple of pints of excellent "Old Prickly" this was followed by a tour of the brewery which we found to be both interesting and informative.

Once back in the Tasting Room I sampled the dark, sweet "Shropshire Stout" with its hints of chocolate and liquorice.



An excellent bowl of good, quality, beef stew with carrots, stout and fresh herbs was served, this went down very well with the "chateau" la stout and mashed spuds....it went down that well that seconds were requested and duly served, the night was rounded off with chocolate and stout cake served with double cream ..... Delicious ... Stout cocktails were then served to those who had room ...



A well organised, most entertaining evening with good company, good grub and most of all .. excellent Hobsons Ale .........

My friends and I attended the brewery tour, it was an absolute joy and a bargain too.

My favorite beer explained to me, my favorite beer on tap and incredible food thrown in to.

Expertise and grace, just wonderful.

Love the beer. Used to drink in my local pub, but since moving abroad was unable to enjoy a good pint until today as I was in my local English shop and behold there was some on the shelf.. Stocked up now with some town crier and two gift boxes to give friends.

Love everything about this brewery. It's interaction with the community, fantastic foodie evenings and the beer isn't half bad either! 5 stars all the way. Anything else would be a tad churlish 😊

Kate, Beks & all at Hobsons

Just a great big thanks for sorting my delivery & gifting me a Old Prickly glass also.

Have a great big smashing old Christmas!

Cheers Craig (y)

Kate helped Classic Motor Cars Ltd design the CMC ale, 'Series 1 4.2' whilst arranging for Hobsons to serve ale at our open day, #CMC25. What a lovely, helpful lady and so professional and knowledgeable! Thank you so much for your help, the team at CMC are so pleased with the outcome.

Just had your Postman's Plum Porter (with a bar of chocolate) absolutely astounding depth of flavour, one of the best beers I've ever had. Well done chaps!

Great evening at the brewery. Lovely beer and lovely staff

Fantastic family day, well looked after and great beer.

Fantastic evening on your brewery trip thankyou so much x

Brilliant morning at the Christmas puddings stir up, great fun for all ages.

A brilliant night, great drinks and food. Very friendly welcoming people. Will definitely be going back.

The stout is the favourite drink in my book...but there again so is everything else produced by this excellent brewery.
