Common descriptors are
Following the announcement by Carlsberg that they were to stop brewing ’DBA’, interested parties started a campaign on social media to find a brewer to produce this iconic ale. Both Burton Bridge Brewery directors, Geoff Mumford & Bruce Wilkinson were involved with the original beer at Ind Coope and felt it important that the beer returned to it’s Burton home. It has been agreed to run a trial brew to have it’s debut at the Burton CAMRA Beer Festival in March 2015. It would be impossible to brew an exact replica of the original, but we intend to get it as close as possible. Hops used are known only to a few and will not be revealed here.
