Owner and Head Brewer, Chris Gill decided to brew a special version of their award-winning stout 'Anastasia's Exile' for Reading Beer Festival and some of their favourite pubs. Named after the exiled Russian countess he decided that a true 'Imperial' version at a higher strength would be ideal. The resulting 'Anastasia's Imperial Stout' at 8.0% not only wowed the judges but festival goers alike. Chris says 'It's certainly a stout to savour - slowly. We had no idea it would win, I just wanted to brew a true imperial strength stout. It even knocked our own 'exile' version into bronze after winning gold last year!'
Ascot Ales are fast becoming known as dark beer specialists and this rang true when their 'On The Rails' also won Bronze in the Milds category. Originally brewed as the 'Festival Special' for last years Ascot Racecourse Beer Festival, it has since become a regular brew by popular demand. The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) are promoting Milds throughout the month of May, once an 'endangered beer style' it is considered to be a great introduction to the superb world of real ale.
