In Bury St. Edmunds - the home of Abbot Ale - brewing can be traced back 1,000 years. In fact, the Domesday Book records “cerevisiari” or ‘ale brewers’ who served the Abbot in the town’s Great Abbey.
Inheriting their fascinating experience, our brewing process has hardly changed over hundreds of years. It takes seven days to craft the perfect pint of Abbot Ale. Brewed for longer, the ale has masses of fruit character, malty richness and a superb hop balance.

United KingdomMy favourite brew
This my favourite Ale. Lovely flavours. Highly recommended
United KingdomNicest yet
We have tried so many beers from so many brewers, but we come back to this one every time! As near perfect a brew as you will find, for a very reasonable price, especially if you go to Tesco's!

Full body with a full flavour definitely purchase again 5 star.
United KingdomQuality
Probably the only Green King beer that is still worth drinking if you cannot get better.
United KingdomAbbot Reserve
Buying stronger beers is always something of a gamble. The strength of Abbot Reserve leaves little of the smooth, malt taste of Abbot Ale, so it wasn’t an enjoyable drink.
