A well-balanced, genuine Yorkshire Bitter, with a full measure of maltiness and hoppy aroma – Boltmaker is first choice for the discerning drinker – on both sides of the Pennines.

Formerly known as Best Bitter, Boltmaker has won many awards over the years but most recently it was awarded the CAMRA Supreme Champion Beer of Britain in 2014 and Champion Beer of Britain – Bitter category in 2016.

Veltappet (med sparkler!) fra The Wrestlers Highgate, sammen med Steven: klar kobbergylden med perfekt skum. Superb aroma og smak av engelske humler - fruktig, skogaktig, lett krydret og bare helt lekker. So smooth and creamy. I'm home, honey!

October 2016: Cask 1/3 pint, gravity dispense, at the 16th Twickenham Beer & Cider Festival. Copper colour. Sourish aroma, dodgy, not in perfect nick. Tolerably hoppy flavour, but not as good as I hoped.
