Bacchus 'Beer Day Britain' releases!
To celebrate Beer Day Britain (15 June), Bacchus is releasing 4 exceptional British beers, which are all perfect for this upcoming Winter season!
From Ross at Bacchus:
Every year, since 2016, Harvey’s Brewery (Southern England’s most famous brewery 200+ yo) have sent us the ingredients (including their unique yeast) to reproduce their award winning beers every “St George’s Day”. This is one of our biggest events of the year, with Harvey’s fans travelling from around the country to attend. Usually only available in keg at the brewery, this year to mark 10 years of brewing this in Australia & the fact they sent an 8th generation member of the Harvey’s family to brew it with us, we have brewed a much larger batch & have kegs to share around the country for the first time..
Sussex Best Bitter (Alc 4.0%)
A superbly balanced bitter with prominent hop character. Using a blend of four local hops, water filtered through the Sussex Downs over 30 years, and Harvey's unique 60 year old yeast strain, Harvey's Best Bitter is the embodiment of Sussex.
Awarded GBBF Champion Best Bitter Of Britain, 2 years running.
Harvey’s Old Ale (Alc 4.3%)
Burnt sugars and roasted malts compliment the premium Maris Otter barley, supplanting the light bitterness of aroma hops. With hints of dried fruit and dates, this rich ale has been likened to the oak: steadfast throughout the year, regardless of the season.
Awarded “World’s Best Mild Ale” & CAMRA "Champion Winter Beer Of Britain" PLUS Camra Champion Beer Of Britain 2025
Lewes Castle Brown (Alc 4.8%)
Brewed with roasted malt and dark sugars, it has a sweet, malty palate and a bittersweet finish derived from Fuggle and Progress aroma hops. There is a lush fullness, offset by a hint of burnt sugars.
Awarded “World’s Best Brown Ale” & “World’s Best Dark Ale”
Georgian Dragon (Alc 4.7%)
A Ruby Ale with a fruity aroma and a sustained, lingering bitterness with a subtle hit of lip-smacking fruitcake. A beer celebrating England’s Father of Palaeontology. In 1821, Lewes doctor and fossil collector Gideon Mantell’s understanding of fossilised Iguanodon teeth.
