Broadtown Best is a triumph of a traditional ale, the perfect balance of specialty malts with a light hop touch creating the bitterness.
'Best' by name, and best by nature, our Bitter is both thirst-quenching and delicious in equal measure.

Cask-conditioned at the Lime Kiln, Bristol, 3 October 2022. Medium brown in colour, with a moderately-sized, off-white, head. Hedgerow hops, some chewy, slightly toasted, malts, touch of caramel and lingering, bitter, finish. Good.

[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading.] An interesting coloured pint, seemingly a deep, almost opaque reddish brown, but a bright golden barley when held to the light; soft vegetal aroma; rather thin in the mouth, but with a buttery, biscuity malt taste; then a dry finish with a light bitterness and some lingering buttered toast. An excellent old-fashioned bitter.
