Bitter beer

Depending on the type of hops that we use, the bitterness of our beers can vary from subtle to kick in the face. But whichever you choose, these hoppy beers taste best when they are fresh. Order your bitter beers directly from the brewery, and taste them as they should be!

Discover different kinds of bitter beer styles

The bitterness in your beer almost always comes from hops. But although every traditional beer contains hops, not every beer is bitter. The bitterness depends entirely on the type of hops used and when they are added. Some hop varieties are used specifically to give beer a bitter taste, while other types are used to create a specific aroma. Beer styles that show off the bitter side of hops include IPAs and pale ales– coincidentally two of our favourite beers to brew. If you’d like to see for yourself whether a beer is bitter or not, you can look at the IBU (International Bitterness Units). Any beer with an IBU higher than 60 is classed as very bitter. Although we have several brews that fall into this category, we never create beers that taste only bitter. As real hop nerds, we always look for the perfect balance between bitterness and other flavours. You can taste the result of our hop studies here!
