ABOUT HOOK NORTON BREWERY
Hook Norton Brewery is an independent family-owned brewery based in Oxfordshire, internationally recognised for its historic Victorian tower brewery and award-winning traditional ales.
Established in 1849, Hook Norton remains one of the last working Victorian tower breweries in the UK, with much of the original brewing machinery still used today. Brewing takes place across five storeys using gravity-fed brewing methods that have become a defining part of the brewery's unique identity and heritage.
Alongside brewing a wide range of traditional cask ales, bitters, stouts and modern beers, Hook Norton Brewery has become a popular visitor destination. Their brewery tours take guests through the sights, sounds and smells of the historic tower brewery before finishing with guided beer tastings in the cellar bar. Visitors can also meet the brewery's famous Shire horses, which still deliver beer locally by traditional horse-drawn dray.
The brewery's visitor centre also includes a brewery shop packed with beer, gifts and local produce, alongside an on-site café serving breakfasts and lunches using locally sourced ingredients. Combining heritage, craftsmanship and independent brewing tradition, Hook Norton Brewery continues to be one of the UK's most iconic breweries.
Whether you're a fan of traditional British ales, brewery heritage or discovering one of the country's most historic independent breweries, Hook Norton Brewery offers a unique opportunity to enjoy beers brewed using methods that have stood the test of time for more than 175 years.
