Super, Smashing, Great.

So after a couple of seasons of exceptional success in the cask, popular demand has led us to bottle the Bitter Bully.  To tell the truth, we didn’t take much convincing because we can’t get enough of it ourselves, the perfect little bottle of summer sunshine that it is.

For the uninitiated, Bitter Bully is a pale ale based on the new world style, but with a touch of British reserve. We pack it full of American hops to give it that big citrussy kick, but have avoided the temptation to marry that with an ABV approaching double figures, instead making the beer a very sessionable 4.0% ABV to make it perfect for summer drinking.

We’re expecting this inaugural batch to disappear rapidly once it has finished the bottle-conditioning process sometime around the end of August, but that doesn’t matter too much because we are intending to keep it on pretty much permanently from now on - if you keep drinking it, we’ll keep brewing and bottling it.

It will be available from all of the usual outlets, as well as from the brewery and the online shop.
