Titanic Brewery

The Titanic Brewery is an independent producer of bottle conditioned and cask ales in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, England.

The brewery was founded in 1985 and takes its name from the ill-fated steam liner "Titanic", whose captain Edward Smith hailed from the region.

Its regular range of beers include

* Titanic Mild (3.5% abv)
* Steerage (formerly Titanic Best Bitter) (3.5% abv)
* Titanic Stout (4.5% abv)
* White Star (4.8% abv)
* Captain Smith's Strong Ale (5.2% abv)
* Iceberg (4.1% abv)

All of these bar the Mild and Steerage are available in bottles from the brewery, the brewery tap, and some supermarkets. The bottled Titanic Stout won the Champion Bottled Beer of 2004 and won the Bronze in the same category in 2005 at the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) Great British Beer Festival.

Titanic's beers are general notable for their light colour, low malt, and high hop content, giving a very dry bitter taste, although Captain Smith's and some of their seasonals are dark and malty, though still extremely hoppy.

Owner Keith Bott is also chairman of SIBA, the Society of Independent Brewers.
