Bond Brews – Best of British

Sponsored by SuperSpray BodyShop

Best Bitter
ABV 4.0%
Amber

More info

Brewed using three blends of malted barley and wheat to provide a full bodied, rich copper coloured, nutty and biscuity session bitter. Two whole leaf hop varieties are used to provide a good bitter-sweet balance and a subtle fruity aroma, giving way to a lingering chocolate malty finish. Quintessentially British.

ABV 4.6%
Pale
Vg

More info

A Traditional Pale Ale, but brewed using a couple of firm favourite, exciting hop varieties. German Huell Melon teams up with US-grown Citra for a cocktail of citrus fruit and resinous pine flavours. This mid-strength beer has a firm bitterness and a soft orange hue from a little bit of Vienna malt in the mash.

Elusive – Shadow of the Beast

Black IPA
ABV 5.0%
Dark
Vg

More info
Burghfest Award Winner

Shadow of the Beast is an Elusive classic! It was one of our first ever brews but we haven’t brewed it for quite a while. Time to put that right! This Black IPA uses roasted wheat malt to give it a dark appearance and moderately roasty malt profile. We then add Citra and Mosaic hops across six additions to layer in a lovely citrus-forward hop profile. The malts play really nicely with the hops in this one!

Mysterious – Small Strings Encore

Sponsored by The Small Strings

Golden IPA
ABV 4.0%
Pale
Vg, GF
OUT OF STOCK

More info
Gluten Free

A 4% IPA that delivers far more than its modest strength suggests. Brewed with Strata and Krush hops, it opens with an enticing wave of ripe tropical fruit, citrus zest, and subtle berry notes, before revealing a deeper, resinous backbone that lingers on the palate. A gentle haze softens the edges, wrapping bold flavours and layered aromas in a smooth, easy-drinking body. Light, vibrant, and compelling — a performance you’ll want to experience again and again.

Brewed with Pale and Crystal malts, it pours a warm amber hue with a smooth, malty backbone. It seemed only right to use Archer hops, to add a touch of the wild, bringing bright floral and citrus notes that cut through with refreshing clarity.
