The Champion Bottled Beer of Britain Award goes to the very best beer dispensed from a bottle rather than a traditional cask hand pull.
The 2023 Champion Bottled Beer of Britain award went to Green Jack’s Baltic Trader (10.5% ABV). Judges described the Extra Strong Export Stout as ruby black with a stunning oyster head. It had dark roast, black treacle and currants on the nose with alcohol and a very rich smooth mouthfeel. Dry black chocolate, hints of cherry, caramelised fruits and a growing bitter roasty finish that is sweet and lingering. A beer to be savoured.
