Hobson's Mild is a worthy champion

One of the first beers to run out at the Great British Beer Festival was, of course, was Champion Beer of Britain, Hobson's Mild (3.2%). When an extra cask appeared on Thursday one saw a rare sight — a GBBF queue for one beer. And well worth the queue it was, too. This is a worthy winner, packed with flavour for its ABV, a good, not too sweet mild, dark copper in colour.
