Exmoor Dark - JDW Festival Champion Beer

Congratulations to our sister Brewery, Exmoor, on a very special win! 

Exmoor Dark was judged to be Champion Beer of the Wetherspoon’s Autumn Beer Festival 2025, beating off competition from a range of 30 ales, that are pouring as part of this 12-day, nationwide beer festival.

Specially invited judges, including brewers, brewing industry specialists, CAMRA members and pub customers, were invited to the Trent Bridge Inn in Nottingham to taste all the beers featuring in the festival, and voted Exmoor Dark as the overall champion.

We'll drink to that!
