Old Tom is almost as old as the brewery itself. Dubbed ‘The original craft beer' this dangerously drinkable legend was born in 1899 when Tom the old brewery cat was sketched into immortality by the head brewer. This superior dark ale is recognised nationally and internationally as one of the premier strong ales. It has won some of the industry's most prestigious awards including World's Best Ale and Champion Beer of Britain. Rich and warming Old Tom has a distinctive deep port wine finish with bitter hops balanced by the heady aromas of dark fruit. Old Tom is available in selective Morrisons Booths Waitrose Bookers and Parfetts across the North West as well as Asda Tesco Sainsbury's and Nisa Today across the UK.
