Beacon has a special place in our hearts as the first beer we ever brewed. We'll be honest in our experimental beginnings it was far from 'the best' at all. But three brews later we had perfected our gorgeous, light chestnut best bitter. We use traditional floor malted Maris Otter barley and personally choose a classic blend of English hop varieties to make what we call 'the best of the bests'.

Cask-conditioned at the Lime Kiln, Bristol July 2015. Amber with a frothy, off-white, head. Sweetish bitter, with malts to the fore, some berry fruit character and a gently bitter finish. Ok.
