CAMRA members Reserve their Abbot Reserve for Cask Ale Week

Members of the West Suffolk Branch of CAMRA knew they were in for a treat when head brewer John Bexon invited them to the brewery to taste the year’s first brew of Abbot Reserve – produced specially for Cask Ale Week.

 “It lived up to expectations,” as Kevin Waterson, chairman of West Suffolk CAMRA said. “What a fantastic brew – every bit as good this time round as when it won the prestigious Beer of the Festival title in last year’s East Anglian Beer Festival.”

 Said John Bexon, “There’s always an air of excitement in the brewery when Abbot Reserve comes up on the brewing schedule, and since all the brewers are so proud of it, we wanted to share the enjoyment with other people who appreciate great beer.”

 Abbot Reserve is 6.5% abv distinctive, full bodied, smooth and mature, bursting with fruitcake and toffee flavours

 Abbot Reserve is on sale now for Cask Ale Week, and when your local has finished its supply, you’ll have to wait until November until you can next taste the cask version again. Happily, for those who can’t wait, it is on sale in bottles all year round.

Pubs handpicked for membership of elite Greene King pub club

A selection of Greene King tenanted pubs have been chosen to be exclusive members of the new Head Brewer’s Club, a collection of Greene King’s hero cask ale pubs.

 Membership of the Head Brewer’s Club means the guarantee of a great pint of cask beer as well as top notch service. Due to the beer rotational policy of some pubs we can’t say for sure which pubs will have Abbot on but many of them are regular stockists but look out for the Head Brewer’s plaque at Greene King pubs in your area.
