Good King Henry Special Reserve is a legendary beer. The Old Chimney's Brewery closed it's doors in 2018, but master brewer Alan Thomson continues to brew this beer at Grain. Voted the top beer in the world for 8 years in a row on RateBeer.com, this multi-award winning beer is brewed once a year in small batches, and takes two years to reach full maturity.
