Cask Ales

We usually have five well-kept cask ales on tap, with plenty more ready in the cellar. Once a barrel is finished a new ale will replace it.

See our Facebook page (The Hare and Hounds, Hindley) for the latest beers on tap.

Thornbridge Brewery, Bakewell

Jaipur (5.9%)

With over 100 worldwide awards, this American style IPA has a complexity of flavour created by a six-dimensional hop experience. It’s usually recognised as the first UK craft IPA, and was brewed with a huge amount of US hops at a time where this was very unusual, these provide a fantastic experience of grapefruit, lemon and tropical fruit with an enticing bitterness. This is balanced with a great English malt base of Low Colour Maris Otter from Norfolk that helps keep the beer light and drinkable with enough sweetness to keep it all in harmony.

Wigan Brewhouse, Wigan

Old Boston (4.4%)

A dark and rich porter which bursts with roasted malt flavours; handsomely black, with a creamy white head and smoky aromas with an intense blend of bitter roasted malts. It has a creamy texture throughout which the sweet plum taste penetrates and is also on the nose from the natural plum flavouring.
