There's not many beers that we have kept returning to through our 9 years - in fact, this is the only one I can think of, so it must be good!

It's been a while since Utopian Brewing branched out from being one of the best lager specialists in the UK, and added a range of traditional cask beers. Here's another one they've nailed. Full of flavour and easy drinking - just how a best Bitter should be!

Open at 4pm 🍺
