Burton Bridge Brewery Tickle Brain Ale

The monks of Burton Abbey were the first recorded brewers in the town.  Burton Bridge’s Tickle Brain is a strong abbey style ale, a guess at what those beers would have been like. It is a powerful ale brewed with Northdown hops. Curious about the name?  It comes from Shakespeare’s likeable drunkard, Falstaff “Peace, good pint-pot. Peace, good tickle-brain” in Henry IV, Part 1. Tickle Brain won West Midlands CAMRA Bottle Beer of the Year 2006.
