Extra Special Tribute 2025 - 12x500ml bottles

St Austell Brewery

£78

Crafted annually in small batches, Extra Special Tribute is as distinctive as the story behind it – with each year offering a unique interpretation of our flagship beer. The 2025 release celebrates English hops and has a flavour profile which honours two of our other longstanding beers celebrating milestone anniversaries in 2025 Hicks – which turned 50, and Gem, to mark its 30 th anniversary. EST 2025 is a rich, moreish brew. It pours a deep gold, almost amber, hinting at the richness within. It delivers sweet notes of caramel and toffee, gentle spice, and subtle hedgerow fruit from the Britis

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as ST.AUSTELL BREWERY COMPANY LIMITED, number 00107021. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
