Independence day for champ

Independence (ABV 4.6 per cent), a premium pale ale by Bristol Beer Factory has been crowned CAMRA’s Champion Beer of Britain 2026 at the Cambridge Beer Festival. The competition is fiercely independent with judging taking two years to complete. Each year kicks off with individual nominations from CAMRA members and volunteer tasting panels, then regional competitions. Every round of judging, including the final at the Cambridge Beer Festival, uses a strict blind tasting policy.
