BRAKSPEAR&#x27;S BITTER - crystal, Black and Maris Otter pale malts provide the backbone of this outstanding rich beer. Hops are added three times to distinct flavours. The brewing recipe uses Fuggles and Goldings as with the cask version and, vitally, the original Brakspear yeast. But the real differentiation comes from the use of the flavour-yielding ‘double-dropped’ fermentation system.
