Extraordinary Ordinary Bitter

This beer ingredient kit is a classic Ordinary English Bitter. A low alcohol session beer that you can drink several glasses of and still be able to walk home from the pub.

This beer is a balance of malt and hops. Though its called a bitter, ordinary bitters are not really bitter, with the overall flavor leaning towards the malty side.

History: Originally a draught ale served very fresh under no pressure (gravity or hand pump only) at cellar temperatures (i.e., "real ale"). Bitter was created as a draught alternative (i.e., running beer) to country-brewed pale ale around the start of the 20th century and became widespread once brewers understood how to "Burtonize" their water to successfully brew pale beers and to use crystal malts to add a fullness and roundness of palate.

High Gravity's extract kits use only the highest quality ingredients and are assembled when you order so they contain the freshest possible ingredients.

Each kit makes 5 gallons.
