Once Bitten Returns – The Perfect Pour for Halloween

Autumn’s here, and so is the return of one of our most talked-about seasonals — Once Bitten, our 4% copper ale with a deliciously smoky edge and a gentle spice that’s made it a firm favourite behind the bar.

Brewed with a characterful mix of Admiral, Goldings and Challenger hops, this autumn classic brings a herbal, cedar-like aroma with subtle notes of pine, chocolate and molasses, and a flicker of orange and herbs that keeps drinkers coming back for another sip.

Ideal for the Halloween season, Once Bitten doesn’t just look the part in the glass — it delivers on depth and drinkability too. Whether it’s featured on your cask line-up for the spooky season or paired with hearty autumn dishes, it’s a beer that’s bound to start conversations at the bar.

“We might be waving goodbye to summer,” says Head of Sales James Ramm, “but the change in season is one of the most exciting times of year — and these new additions are the perfect way to mark it.”

Make sure you’ve got Once Bitten ready to pour — because when the nights draw in, this is one beer your customers won’t want to miss.

Our seasonal offerings are available exclusively in cask to our on-trade customers for one month only, meaning when they’re gone – they’re gone.

Venues looking to stock Once Bitten behind their bar are encouraged to order early to avoid disappointment – or face another year’s wait to get their hands on this infamous seasonal.
