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.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 5th July 2020. Deep copper with shallow off-white foam affording a full lacing. Malty, spicy aroma. Leafy and malty in-mouth with spiciness, whilst the finish is pungent and spicy. Smooth yet engaging mouthfeel and a medium body. Interesting, traditional and pleasant.

(Cask at Southampton Arms, Gospel Oak, London, 21 Nov 2019) Dark reddish brown colour with foamy, beige head. Malty nose with notes of roasted grain, crisp-bread, raisins and caramel. Malty taste with roasted grain, chocolate, dried fruit and a mild earthy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and well made bitter. Nice one.
