Back by popular demand!
Dartmoor Brewery's much-loved special edition ale, XXX, has returned for 2026, bringing its bold flavour and distinctive character back to beer lovers across the country.
Originally brewed in 2024 to celebrate Dartmoor Brewery's 30th anniversary, XXX became the fastest-selling limited release in the brewery's history, selling out within just a few weeks.
Its popularity didn't end there. Following an enthusiastic response from customers, XXX returned in 2025 and is now back once again for 2026.
For those who have been waiting to enjoy another bottle, the wait is over.
A Beer Worth Bringing Back
Brewed in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, XXX is a bold, full-bodied ale with a beautiful deep amber colour and subtle red hues.
Rich malted fruit notes meet refreshing citrus and orange, followed by a smooth, slightly sweet caramel finish.
Crafted using Northdown, Challenger, Northern Brewer and Goldings hops, alongside a blend of Pale, Crystal and Wheat malts, XXX delivers a harmonious balance of sweetness and bitterness, scoring 6/10 on both scales.
At Alc. 6.0% Vol. this special edition ale is rich, smooth, and unmistakably Dartmoor.
