It's the style that defines English Beer. That to some is simply 'real ale'. It is of course Best Bitter. Given this history and the amazing examples that are available, creating one is not something we've undertaken lightly. Made with no fewer than 7 malts and 3 different English Hops, "Chummy Bluster" is a gentle, fruity, well rounded ale, with just the right amount of bitterness to keep you coming back for more. Unfined, unfiltered and suitable for vegans.

I wouldn't call it a traditional best bitter but it nice. Has a bitter sweet finish and slightly roasted malt flavour.

Cask pint at The Euston Tap on 26th October 2021. Deep amber body, off-white head. Malts lead the way in both the nose and taste, the hops kicking in mid-sip for a semblance of balance. Liked it.

Can from Meads liquor shop. Choco aroma. Looks like a mild and frankly tastes like a mild somewhat. The malts are very prominent and sometimes hops make a punch, sometimes tobacco dark choco makes a punch. It feels a bit messy but maybe I'd rate it better if it I was expecting something other than a best bitter. Nonetheless, it's nice enough. (22/9/20).
