Fuller's HSB
Premium Bitter, 4.8% ABV
A silky-smooth premium ale, Horndean Special Bitter was originally the flagship beer of Gales Brewery in Hampshire. First launched in 1959, it's still brewed with the same passion and pride today – and the age-old recipe continues to go down a storm
Although no longer bottled HSB is available year round on the Fuller's Brewery Tour and in most Fuller's Pubs
Blissfully unchanged
There aren't many things in the world that have managed to stay blissfully unchanged since 1959, but from the russet colour and the fruity taste, right down to the logo on the hand-pump, Gales HSB is one of them.
You can't improve on perfection, and that's why HSB is still brewed with the same Gales yeast that gave it its famous flavour.

Brew Notes
Brewed with the finest malt and hops, HSB imparts the rich, soft-fruit flavours of traditional Dundee cake. It’s a tawny, russet coloured beer, with malt and raisin on the nose – and a gentle sweetness that lingers long into the silky smooth finish
