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.

Cask at Captain Cooks Östersund. What a delight it was to drink 6 pints of this....the quiz master needs his lubricant. No bloated feeling, no powerful tastes, but tasty enough to want more. Solid ale! --- Cask at Royal William IV, Lincoln. Only one this time. Easy going deep Caramel bitter. 3.3 to 3.2 (4/4/23). --- Cask at Captain Cooks, Östersund. I found this all rather bland and onlg saved by this funky geuze like aroma that was lingering heavily. 3.2 to 3.1.

Cask pint @ The Armoury. Pours relatively clear amber, medium off-white colour of foam, though perhaps a bit too big. Light toffee nose. Taste brings gentle toffee. Light stale notes. Butterscotch. Kind of fine, seems to be in delicate condition. Surprised I've never had it.
