Copper gold with a robust, layered aroma of pale malt, earthy hops and hints of caramel.

Why we chose it

“Somerset pale ale with no fuss about it. Citrus hop, light bitterness and the sort of drinkability that turns one bottle into two — put it next to a wedge of hard cheese.”

About the producer

Cheddar Ales was founded in 2006 by Jem Ham, a Somerset man who left banking for brewing, and works from the foot of the Mendip Hills beside Cheddar Gorge. The beers take their names from the landscape — Gorge Best bitter, the golden Potholer named for the caves above the village. A taproom opened at the brewery in 2020.
