H.S.B.
First brewed in 1959, HSB (Horndean Special Bitter) is an award-winning, distinctive, high quality premium bitter. HSB was the flagship brew of Horndean’s Gales brewery until December 2005 when the company was aquired by Fuller’s.
Today, HSB is brewed with pride and passion at Chiswick where the Gale’s yeast is now alive and well. It continues to delight discerning ale drinkers both in its original heartland and winning new friends far and wide.
Tasting Notes
HSB is brewed with the finest malt and hops for a well-balanced character. It is full bodied and silky textured, with a hint of Dundee cake that leads to a rich, fruity taste and a silky smooth finish. It has an ABV of 4.8% and is a beer to savour.
HSB makes the ideal accompaniment to the following types of dishes:
- Hearty stews and casseroles, where the strong malt and fruity flavours complement the meaty taste.
- Game, where HSB’s strong fruity raisin flavours complement the richness of the game.
