Named after Master Brewer, Henry Hobson who wore a traditional ‘coke’ (pronounced cook), best described as the original hardhat worn by manual workers but originally favoured by gamekeepers who wore the hat to protect against being hit on the head by poachers. Hence the bowler-like hat on the label.

This British amber bitter ale (ESB) is brewed using Maris Otter pale ale malt, roasted crystal malt, Hobson’s own yeast and finished with Worcestershire Challenger and Goldings hops.
