"Bobby is a man who makes lager in England. He wanted to create a great tasting lager that was easy to drink."
You might not have heard of Bobby before, it's quite a local-to-the-Cotswolds thing - you can find it at fabulous foodie destinations such as The Wheatsheaf Inn Northleach and 131 The Promenade Cheltenham - though it's recently been added to drinks lists in Bristol and Bath venues, so it is gradually spreading further afield. It had to be a decent drink, one which would complement the skills that come out of the kitchen, but also an easy drinker in it's own right. As of last September, Bobby Beer was born; a premium product to be enjoyed in premium places.

The beer is brewed in Bourton-on-the-Water using a combination of American and German hops, along with Cotswold water. It’s clean and crisp with a slight wheat-y element to it too. It's refreshing without being heavily carbonated, and because of that it doesn't make you feel bloated in any way - ideal then to go with your grub. Bobby claims to be a Great British lager, but I'd say it sits somewhere between a pale ale and a lager better; nothing like your standard stuff.
"There aren’t any nasties in his beer. It is made to bring you pleasure and hopefully no headache.”

At present, Bobby Beer is available on draught and in 330ml bottles. When we tried the two next to one another, we were able to taste a difference. Draught Bobby can be made and then distributed almost instantly, giving it a slightly lighter taste, whereas bottling adds an extra process and a bit more time, enhancing the flavours and making it feel that little bit stronger - personally, I like the bottles best, though if you get a pint from the bar it does come in a MEGA glass.. Very macho.

You can find Bobby Beer at:
131 The Promenade (Crazy Eights) // The Tavern // The Wheatsheaf // The Chequers // Cowshed Bristol // The Pig near Bath // Bagelboy // The Beer Emporium // Gallimaufry
