Hook Norton Brewery

Hook Norton Brewery is a regional brewery in Hook Norton Oxfordshire, several miles outside the Cotswold Hills. Founded in 1849, the brewing plant is a traditional Victorian tower brewery in which all the stages of the brewing process flow logically from floor to floor, mashing at the top, boiling in the middle, fermentation and racking at the bottom. Until 2006, the brewing process was powered by stream. Beer is still delivered in the village by horse-drawn dray. The historic Victorian steam engine (dating from 1899) is still in the brewery
