About Bombardier
Commonly known as 'The Drink of England,' Bombardier is brewed using ingredients from the heart of England including accredited natural mineral water from the brewery's very own well. The beer has a burnished copper colour and a rich, tempting aroma of peppery hops and raisins. The palate is dominated by more dark fruit, juicy malt and tangy hops.
Bombardier is one of the best selling premium cask ales and sells faster than six other top ten brands. (Source CGA 2010, last 12 months throughputs MAT).
