Champion Winter Beer of Britain

London Brewing - Beer Street

Beer Street (4.0%), an amber bitter with rye by London Brewing has won CAMRA’s Champion Winter Beer of Britain award, announced at Liverpool Beer Festival today (Thursday 19 February). 

After a year of local and regional blind judging heats, the Campaign’s winter winners have been crowned. The category winners now go forward to the final judging in May at CAMRA’s Cambridge Beer Festival where they’ll battle it out to take the crown of Supreme Champion 2026. 

Cairngorm’s session stout, Black Gold (4.4%), took home silver, and Green Jack’s Baltic Trader Export Stout (10.5%) won bronze. 

Judges were blown away by the winner, with judging panel coordinator Christine Cryne describing Beer Street (4.0%) as: “A sparking golden amber bitter, with spicy rye and a roasty nose, sweet biscuit on the flavour, where the spicy rye notes increase and linger in the dry and slightly bitter finish. Very easy drinking.”
