Extra Special Preservation is brewed in honour of one of our favourite core beers: Preservation. An easy drinking and perfectly-balanced best bitter, brewed to the traditional East Midlands style.

This Extra Special Bitter spin on Preservation takes the ingredients and process of the original and ramps everything up to a higher ABV of 5.5%, which brings increased sweetness, body and fruity ale esters to the beer.

Even at this higher ABV, the beer is still very much about balance. Our aim was to match residual sweetness from the malt with hop bitterness to achieve that moreish bittersweetness.  We have also combined the roasted and caramel flavours from crystal, amber and black malt with the fruity ale esters from our house yeast culture.

As warmer days start to cool, and the nights begin to draw in, this beer should be a perfect partner to a night spent in good company at your local real ale pub.

We hope you enjoy this beer!
