Wells Bombardier

Wells Bombardier English Premium Bitter from Wells and Young's Brewing Company, has become synonymous with St. George's Day and all that is English, throughout the length and breadth of the country. It is known as the 'Drink of England.'

In the pub industry survey for the 'Publican' magazine '2005 Market Report' licensees were asked to name three brands that they would most like to stock in their pubs: "...the big news is the storming new entry of Wells Bombardier at No.3".

'A burnished copper colour, it has a rich, tempting aroma of peppery hops and raisins, while the palate is dominated by more dark fruit, juicy malt and tangy hops.'

Roger Protz
Editor, The Good Beer Guide

As most lovers of cask ale know, water is the most important ingredient in beer, and Wells Bombardier has an enviable natural advantage over other premium bitters; it is uniquely brewed using natural mineral water from an independently accredited source - our own well.

Wells Bombardier uses only the most flavoursome part of the rippest, hand sampled English hops to guarantee a delicious sultana fruit taste and a wonderful, spicy aroma.

We also use more malt per pint than other premium bitters and our English 'Crystal' malt is carefully crushed, not ground, to deliver the rich flavour and deep copper colour for which Wells Bombardier is renowned. '

“A complex finish of bitter hops, nuts and citrus fruits.”

Roger Protz
(British Guild of Beer Writers and Editor of The Good Beer Guide)

The popularity of this perfectly crafted pint is described by award winning beer writer, Alastair Gilmour:

“The aroma is of freshly sliced ripe apples. Its amber hue is emphasised by a tight rich head which set it up as an ale with real credentials.”
