The new pump clip from Abbot is now a distinctive mitre shape, in homage to the beer and brewing heritage of our home town, Bury St Edmunds. “Cerevisiarii”, or ale brewers to the Abbey were chronicled in the Domesday Book almost a thousand years ago, and we brewers still employ many of the methods as their brewing predecessors and draw water from the same chalk wells. Abbot possesses a reputation for quality that ale drinkers have come to expect, and the new look on the bar will enhance this even further. 

Don’t miss the chance to collect for your very own tankard in your local pub (selected pubs only) and with promotional bottles of Abbot Ale and Abbot Reserve. These hand blown tankards are the ultimate vessel to enjoy your pint of Abbot. Tankards collected for via bottles can also be personalized with your own name.
