Hogan Sampling		06 Jun 2026	1st beer of this festival: Good head and lacing on this Lancaster bitter and probably my first tasting of this brewery’s offerings. Farm Yard Brew Company is based on a family-run farm in Cockerham, Lancashire, England, having been launched in 2017. A dry bitter first hit. A gentle hoppiness rising from its 100% traditional British hops. A touch of maltiness winning over with a touch of caramel sweetness from its mix of a pale malt-base, torrefied wheat and a portion of cara-malt. A dry bitterness sailing out. Served in good nick and a good start to the festival following my first one chosen being one of the very few that had run out on my chosen list of ones to try.
