Goddards Brewery is celebrating its 25th year anniversary and are marking the occasion with a re-release of its very first brew, the award-winning Goddards Special Bitter.
Originally brewed back in 1993 when the brewery first opened its doors, the Goddards Special Bitter recipe was developed with the help of the public, who were asked to fill in a questionnaire to help shape the flavour. The result was a refreshingly clean, easy-drinking bitter, with a wonderful aroma of freshly-rubbed hops that carries through to a satisfying aftertaste. An instant hit, it won several awards including the CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) Beer of the Year in 2000 and Gold in the SIBA (Society of Independent Brewers) Regional Competition in 2004.
Brewery owner, Anthony Goddard commented:
“It was the first ever pint that we brewed back in 1993 and I can’t think of a finer way of marking the occasion”.
Xavier Baker, Managing Director of Goddards, added:
“It has been really exciting to go back and brew something with 25 years of Goddards heritage. Goddards Special Bitter still tastes as good today as it did back in 1993. We can’t wait to introduce it to a new audience who might never have tried it before, as well as our regular customers who were there with us at the beginning”.
Goddards Special Bitter will be re-released on the 11th June in order to coincide with the breweries anniversary and will be available in cask across the Island.
