Our bottled beers have been approved by CAMRA to carry this logo:
CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, supports real ale in a bottle. This is the next best thing, and the bottled equivalent, to the draught real ales you can enjoy at the pub.
CAMRA launched the logo “CAMRA says this is real ale” to clearly identify products that are the real thing: natural, living, bottle-conditioned beers. It is important to note that some other cask-conditioned real ales do not undergo secondary fermentation once bottled. We hope that this logo will clearly identify our real ale in a bottle.
Increasingly you will see this CAMRA logo appear on labels of bottle-conditioned products. When you see it on your Adur Brewery bottle you can be sure that you are drinking real ale.
Real ale in a bottle is unpasteurised, unfiltered, and not artificially carbonated. It is a natural live product that contains a little yeast for a slow secondary fermentation in the bottle. This process provides wonderful fresh flavours with a pleasant, natural effervescence and a long shelf life.
