Our famous monthly specials
Every Batemans beer has a story to tell. Not least our Legends: a range that celebrates our tradition of monthly specials, originally brewed for the seasons and inspired by great icons of British heritage. Give them all a try and you’ll find that each brew is a legend in its own right.
