The Royal Albert Bridge is one of Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s greatest engineering triumphs, and the iron marvel is still going strong today. Hidden under layers and layers of paint is Brunel’s mysterious Golden Bolt… at least that’s what they say.

No one’s ever found Brunel’s elusive rivet, but discerning beer drinkers will uncover the subtle peach notes in our award-winning Golden Bolt, a wonderfully soft, citrus flavoured session ale with a light, dry finish.
