Black Sheep Best Bitter
​
Our Black Sheep Best Bitter is the beer that started it all. First brewed by Paul Theakston in September 1992, nothing has changed since then – except that we now brew a lot more of it!
Using the best British ingredients, this Yorkshire beer is built on a bold, sweet malt base. Challenger, Goldings and Fuggle hops are crammed into the boil and hopback, creating bold peppery bitterness and a wonderful fresh grassy flavour.
