Wells Bombardier English Premium Bitter (Alc. 4.3% Vol.) from the Wells & Young's Brewing Company Ltd, has become synonymous with St. George's Day and all that is English, throughout the length and breadth of the country.

'A burnished copper colour, it has a rich, tempting aroma of peppery hops and raisins, while the palate is dominated by more dark fruit, juicy malt and tangy hops.'

Roger Protz

As most lovers of cask ale know, water is the most important ingredient in beer, and Wells Bombardier has an enviable natural advantage over other premium bitters; it is uniquely brewed using natural mineral water from an independently accredited source - our own well.

Wells Bombardier uses only the most flavoursome part of the rippest, hand sampled English 'Challenger' and 'Goldings' hops to guarantee a delicious sultana fruit taste and a wonderful, spicy aroma.

We also use more malt per pint than other premium bitters and our English ' Crystal' malt is carefully crushed, not ground, to deliver the rich flavour and deep copper colour for which Wells Bombardier is renowned.
