Nirvana, the UK’s first and still only dedicated no/low brewery, has launched ‘Nirvana Best’, its first-ever Amber Ale (0.5% ABV) and its take on a quintessentially British best bitter.
Available in 500ml bottles and keg, the beer also features Nirvana’s new bold look – soon to be featured across its now eight-strong range.
Nirvana Best is the brewery’s fourth release of 2024, following its most recent, the successful launch of Pils in June.
Described as full-bodied and a ‘homegrown classic’, Best features a rich, malty, backbone of Maris Otter and Amber malts. These are complemented by a touch of oats and classic English Goldings hops, which bring earthy, floral and spicy notes for balance. The combination results in a complex, yet refreshing, bitterness with subtle caramel undertones.
With its launch, the brewery now has four beers available in 500ml format – one that works well for both stockists and drinkers across multiple categories.
Becky Kean, founder and brand ambassador, said: “Since we started back in 2016, we’ve had requests from customers for a ‘real ale’ or traditional best bitter. Now, as we approach our ten year anniversary, we’ve brewed one that ticks all the right boxes – an outstanding homegrown beer, featuring classic ale malts and hops.”
Nirvana Best, 550ml bottle, RRP £2.80.
