Beers similar to Big Top Bitter

hopIQ found 10 beers with the same hoppy and malty character as Big Top Bitter. Big Top Bitter was brewed for Anspach & Hobday's twelfth anniversary in 2026. Brewer Richard Ekins based it on the hoppy bitters of the Black Country and Shropshire from his home in the West Midlands: Maris Otter loaded with crystal and amber malts for a rich backbone, and fresh whole-leaf East Kent Goldings packed into the mash tun, used as a hop back. Dark berry and fruitcake aromas meet caramel and biscuit notes from the malt. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
