There’s definitely a recurring theme with Januarys here at Polly’s and dropping a Best Bitter. What originally started out as a sort of in-joke has rapidly become one of the events in the brewery calendar our brewers look forward to the most. Relishing the chance to brew a heritage style, our 2023 entry is Dealer’s Choice – a thoroughly modern Best Bitter. Going in gently with a boil addition of 7kg of Simcoe for ten minutes, in true Polly’s fashion we couldn’t help ourselves on this beer and added sliiiightly more hops than planned, with a further 18kg of more Simcoe, Amarillo and Columbus bring marmalade notes to offset against the caramel backbone brought to the party by the grist bill.

440ml can from Stan's Supermarket, St Martins. Pours a clear amber, good white head. Earthy piney hop bitterness alongside a distant sappiness that's quite welcome, robust bitterness. Nice bitter rooted in trad with a good hoppy side from the Simcoe.
