New beers from Thwaites

I tried one of Thwaites' new beers at the weekend. They've spent some money overhauling their seasonal range and designed some pretty natty pump clips which will attract attention at the bar.


The first one to be brewed is OBJ. This is a name that had a good reputation in bygone years and was used by other breweries in Lancashire as well if I'm not mistaken. Please feel free to enlighten me. It is a strong, darkish, warming brew which I'll certainly look out for in future.

Thwaites' have installed a line for bottle conditioning also, which is a move to be applauded. 'Old Dan' has been produced as a trial run and I hope to sample that soon.

    I've got a bottle of 'Old Dan' waiting patiently to be 'baron rated':

    It's such a lovely bottle and I love the label even if it is a 'work in progress'.

    Yes, I asked Thwaites' where I could pick up a bottle and I got a dead bat reply!

    Thwaites have a new bottling line, but the old one was perfectly able to do bottle-conditioned beers, as it did so regularly in its former home, Brakspears, Henley.

    Oddly enough, OBJ was also a regular Brakspear's beer, still being brewed at Marston's Wychwood brewery, Witney - http://www.brakspear.co.uk/our_beer/

    Good to hear that we can have a gulp of the previous generation's beer.
