The Old Crown at Hesket Newmarket
Malcolm & Pat Hawksworth are the tenants running the Old Crown in Hesket Newmarket. The pub itself is owned by a co-operative of more than one hundred local people and other supporters.
The co-operative is dedicated to maintaining the essential character of the pub. The Old Crown serves the very best real ales all brewed by the Hesket Newmarket Brewery which stands at the rear of Pub. We also serve superb bar meals and we are well known locally for our curries.
Our range of real ales includes:
Helvellyn Gold
A.B.V. c4.0%. Straw coloured, with a hoppy aroma and a pleasant bitterness.
Blencathra Bitter
A.B.V. c3.2%. A dark ruby traditional bitter, malty throughout with a good lasting bitterness.
Skiddaw Special Bitter
A.B.V. c3.7%. A 'spritzy' refreshing session beer with a well balanced full flavoured palate.
Doris' 90th Birthday Ale
A.B.V. c4.3%. A glorious, full flavoured, fruity premium beer. Originally brewed in 1989 to celebrate the 90th birthday of Liz's mother.
Old Carrock Ale
A.B.V. c6.0%. A dark red, delicious strong ale, beguilingly smooth and definitely dangerous.
Great Cockup Porter
A.B.V. c3.0%. Nearly black, with a dark malty flavour and a smooth bitterness.
Catbells Pale Ale
