Deep clear amber. Full white head. Big bitterness. The original Holt’s Bitter is what we’re built on. A true icon, English beer and Manchester Bitter.
Much like our northern roots, this cask bitter is full of character with light caramel and malty notes that develop into a solid base with punchy, earthy hops. Biting bitterness from the carefully selected English hops is balanced out by the best English pale ale malt and a gentle carbonation to leave a silky-smooth finish.
Quenchingly good, this is a proper bitter beer.
You can order Joseph Holt Bitter from our online beer shop or get a pint of Bitter at any of our pubs.

H.M.Pasties Steak & Joseph Holt's Ale Pie
Joseph Holt Bitter is a perfect partner for this hearty, warm dish. Made with tender chunks of slow cooked beef in our ale gravy this pie is a treat any day, any time of the year. Plus if you needed more of our mourish bitter and you haven't guessed already...it's in the pie too. What more could you ask for?
