Does anyone know who now brews Ushers Best?
John B
As far as I know Wadworth brew Best. Don't know who woes the seasonals though.
I understood that the seasonals were now brewed at Witney on Wychwood's plant.

Certainly distributed by Refresh - I'm sure they brew it as well.

"Banning things others enjoy is the only pleasure some people get."
2004 GBG confirms that Wadworth's brew Usher's Best & Wychwood brew the seasonals. (& that Usher's of Trowbridge & ThomHardy in Dorchester are closed; tho TH now seem to have taken full control of Burtonwood's brewery)
Talking of Wychwood brewing beers under other names :~) has anyone tried the all-new Witney Brakspear's yet? (altogether now - "Brakspear's coming home, it's coming home..." not quite home tho, but perhaps an interesting & admirable second-best IMO)
I'm not sure if Burtonwood have stopped brewing it altogether or if they are parallel-brewing like Henley was at the beginning of the end?
Mr Protz wrote about Wychwood/Brakspear's in yesterday's Guardian, but I've not read it yet. cheers MikeMcG
I had some Witney Brakspears at the Charlbury BF yesterday. It tasted better than the Burtonwood stuff, but not much like the old Henley Braks - a bit like weak 6X. Not unpleasant though.
