A London-brewed bitter has been crowned Britain's greatest beer for winter 2026
"Come rain or shine, Londoners love a beer. Under the glaring summer sun, fruity IPAs and crisp Pilsners in the park hit the spot. During the chilly, dreary winter months, thick stouts and spiced ales by cosy pub fireplaces are a reliable way to warm the cockles."
"Beer Street by London Brewing Co. has been named CAMRA's Champion Winter Beer of Britain. It went up against hundreds of other stouts, porters, strong ales and barley wines that had been nominated by beer lovers and expert tasting panels. After a year of local and regional blind heats, it landed first place in the 'speciality, differently produced' category and came out on top overall."
"'a sparking golden amber bitter, with spicy rye and a roasty nose, sweet biscuit on the flavour, where the spicy rye notes increase and linger in the dry and slightly bitter finish'. They added that it made for 'very easy drinking'."
Beer Street by London Brewing Co. was named CAMRA's Champion Winter Beer of Britain for 2026. The beer won its category after a year of local and regional blind heats and topped hundreds of nominated stouts, porters, strong ales and barley wines. CAMRA judges described the ale as a sparking golden amber bitter with spicy rye, a roasty nose and sweet biscuit flavour, noting a dry, slightly bitter finish and very easy drinking. London Brewing started production in 2011 and moved to The Bohemia in North Finchley in 2014. Silver went to Cairngorm's Black Gold and bronze to Green Jack's Baltic Trader Export Stout. Category winners will compete for Supreme Champion at the CAMRA Cambridge Beer Festival in May.
