Roger Protz, leading beer writer and twice winner of the prestigious Glendfiddich Drink Writer of the Year Award, has revealed to the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), his selection of must-try British beers to sample down the pub and at the forthcoming Great British Beer Festival.
The list has been whittled down from an international selection of 300 beers featured in Roger Protzs new book 300 Beers to Try Before You Die! The book is being launched in time for next weeks Great British Beer Festival, 2nd-6th August, at London Olympia.
You can't beat the conviviality of a good pub serving good beer. But the Great British Beer Festival is the biggest pub in the world! said Mr Protz. It's a brilliant showcase and snapshot of the modern British brewing industry. There's never been a greater choice for beer drinkers in Britain, with milds, bitters, porters, stouts, golden ales, old ales and barley wines. Come and revel in the remarkable choice and diversity of Britain's best beers, and why not try out some of my own personal favourites all gathered together under one roof for the first time?
Roger Protzs Top Ten Beers to Drink in British Pubs (in alphabetical order!) are:
1. Brakspear Bitter, Oxfordshire
2. B&T Edwin Taylors Stout, Bedfordshire
3. Cains Dark Mild, Liverpool
4. Crouch Vale Brewers Gold, Essex
5. Fullers ESB, London
6. Harveys Sussex Best Bitter, Sussex
7. Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted, Scotland
8. Marston's Pedigree, Burton upon Trent
9. Taylors Landlord, Keighley, Yorkshire
10. Youngs Bitter, London
At the trade show on tuesday when it opens with Kook & the ratebeer.com team - look forward to giving some feedback on the above 10 - any other tips on beers to try? Will do my best to sample all suggestions - but only 6 days - so many beers, so little time :chug:
