Hambleton Ales [SEP] inception
Hambleton Ales
Hambleton Ales is a brewery that was established in 1991 in the tiny hamlet of Holme on Swale, in Hambleton, North Yorkshire, England. Initially based in a converted outbuilding, the brewery achieved the target production of 800 gallons a week, within the first six months, and an award-winning beer within the first year.
Hambleton Ales have won a number of awards. Nightmare won Champion Beer at the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) northern competition in January 2006 and a gold in the Campaign
prize is highly sought after by brewers in the region. The contest is carried out entirely through blind tasting of eligible beers.
The 2015 Supreme Champion of the festival was Nightmare, brewed by Hambleton Ales. The silver medallist was Iron & Steel from Rotherham's Chantry Brewery, and the bronze medallist Inception from Ossett Brewery.
