Awards

international brewing awards 2021 silver medal

Built on our proud industrial roots, Trailblazer is a superior stout brewed with years of experience behind it.

Silky smooth, rich and satisfying, you’ll be first captured by the surging body leading the way into a full, tight, creamy head that follows you down the glass. Distinct roasted barley creates a smoky, dark roast coffee aroma with hints of treacle, liquorice and nutty notes.

Full without being heavy, the velvety body develops into deep, characterful flavours of dark chocolate and malt, fully complimented by a striking balance of bitterness and sweetness with a fine, dry finish. Trailblazer is a refreshing and distinguished session stout served chilled from the bar with nitrogen for an extra smooth mouthfeel.

Trailblazer took a silver medal at the 2021 International Brewing Awards!

Steak and Ale Pie

Goes Well With

H.M.Pasties Steak and Joseph Holt's Ale Pie

Our Joseph Holt's Steak and Ale pie is cooked with Bitter, but we've paired this with our Trailblazer Stout, the rich filling inside the pastry expands the roasted and nutty components of the beer. A hearty combination that will leave you wanting more.
