Following the announcement by Carlsberg that they were to stop brewing 'DBA', interested parties started a campaign on social media to find a brewer to produce this iconic ale. Both Burton Bridge Brewery directors, Geoff Mumford & Bruce Wilkinson were involved with the original beer at Ind Coope and felt it important that the beer returned to it's Burton home. Following a trial brew, the new beer made it's debut at the Burton CAMRA Beer Festival in March 2015. It has become a firm favourite, with many saying how much like the original beer it is.
It would be impossible to brew an exact replica, but we are sure it is as close as possible. Hops used are known only to a few and will not be revealed here.

Gravity at Barrow Hill Festival - Deep amber gold, thin shortlived white head and gentle condition. Muted toffee and caramel in the nose with a low lemon citrus note, initial burnt toffee bitterness in the mouth mellowing to a gentle caramel sweetness with time, bitterness returns in the finish with a metallic tinny echo at the end.
