    Sad, but Hophead hasn't sparkled recently.

    They say this in the article, " The Dark Star beers will remain exactly as they are today " ....

    Possibly never quite as good once production was switched to Chiswick.

    Or when it moved from Pitfield Brewery to the Evening Star?
    Or when it moved from the Evening Star to Partridge Green?

    All Dark Star beers are brewed at Partridge green according to the head brewer although he was the brewer at Fullers so maybe he has tried to tweek them.

    I swear that at least 75% of Hopheads I've had in the last three years taste very much like Chiswick beer.
