Story behind Brimmers – The Exceptional Aromatic Bitters

The idea for Brimmers bitters arrived in spring 2014 just after Mike and his wife Jen had returned from a trip to Japan.The result is the product of three years of experimentation and dedication. The options were boundless and for many months, Mike and Jen had as many failures as successes. They tasted everything – the good, the bad, the delicious, the disgusting, the transparent tinctures, the milky messes, liquids so bitter that made their lips curl. 

"Having travelled the world together for almost ten years, by this time our bar was full of wild potions (it is, I fear, even fuller now) but aside from a bottle of the ubiquitous (and it must be said, delicious) Angostura bitters, we had yet to come across a British-made craft cocktail bitters. Hence, we set ourselves the challenge of making one, and if it was good, to share it with the world. We now know we’re not alone in this field but we’re extremely proud of our product." (Mike Palmer, Creator & Founder – Brimmers Bitters)

Having finalized their recipe (a secret of course), they scaled up from their initial experimentation but they still make Brimmers in very small batches of no more than 40 bottles. Each bottle of this aromatic bitters is hand filled and labeled with love.
