The quintessential English Beer
Theakston Best Bitter is the leading session ale within the Theakston portfolio. When we refer to
a ‘bitter’ beer, the term does not mean sour as
in lemons, but dry as in ‘dry white wine’. So Best Bitter is a full bodied, dry beer and a perfect balance of English hops and malted barley.
We use five different hop varieties to make our Best Bitter forming a complex but subtle taste profile. The combination of dryness as generated by Target and Challenger hops, is balanced by sweetness created by the generous use of prime malting barley providing the perfect accompaniment to a wide variety of food flavours as found in a Ploughman’s lunch for instance.
