A straw-coloured bitter which initially seems sweet, but a complex dry, hoppy taste soon predominates.
Probably the best example of the traditional Black Country style of bitter. No better partner to a lunchtime snack!
Also ideal for cooking with beef – see our previous articles!
Sweet and well-balanced dark brown ale with a hoppy, fruity finish
Full of flavour without the heaviness sometimes associated with mild ales. A Black Country classic!
A more substantial “liquid lunch” and another great partner in the kitchen producing fantastic beef stews.
A Christmas ale, mid brown in colour and strong, with a malty, fruity taste.
Hop flavour is present but malt predominates through to the aftertaste. Hold onto your hats, folks!
A straw-coloured bitter which initially seems sweet, but a complex dry, hoppy taste soon predominates.
And for those who enjoy a tipple at home – or are travelling to places where Bathams isn’t available (heavens forbid!), best bitter is now available to enjoy all year round in bottles. Ask at your local Batham’s Pub!
Serving proper beer since 1877.
Still family-run.
Still local.
Still Bathams.
