Hook Norton Flagship English IPA

Flagship is a prominent English IPA brewed by the Hook Norton Brewery, a historic institution located in the village of Hook Norton, Oxfordshire, England. This beer is crafted using traditional methods, including the use of local UK hops and malts, and is known for its distinct citrus and marmalade flavor profile.

Hook Norton Brewery is one of the few remaining traditional family-owned breweries in the United Kingdom, still operating out of its original Victorian tower brewery built in 1898. The brand remains strictly independent, maintaining its heritage by using a steam engine to power parts of the facility and delivering beer to local pubs via horse-drawn dray. The brewery continues to be managed by descendants of the founder, James Clarke, ensuring the brand and its manufacturing remain rooted in its historic Oxfordshire home.
