One of our directors, Geoff Mumford, was invited to the Ancient St. Georges Court at Lichfield. This was deemed sufficient excuse to brew another beer. A firkin is still donated to the Court each year, so that the Court's Ale Tasters may approve the beer.
The feast day of England's patron saint has been observed since the veneral Bede in 673A.D. But it wasn't until 1222 that the Synod of Oxford declared it a feast day.
Our beer hasn't been around that long, but it is still a good reason for a celebration and Lichfield's Ale Tasters haven't turned one down yet.

Cask @ the Burton Bridge brewpub, Burton-on-Trent. Thought this was a new limited edition beer, but by the looks of Jeremy's rating below, this is an old limited edition beer. Pours clear gold, fair white froth atop. As said below this is a clean, fresh but simplistic bitter, not overly sweet, not overly strong, just light and balanced. And there's nothing wrong in that.

Cask, half-pint at The Crown Inn, Oakengates on 28th Apr 2017. Golden pour, white head. Nice blend and balanced brew, nothing outstanding or different: just a pleasant, easy drinking UK Bitter. Challanger hops give it a slightly ’bitter’ taste.
