dark star GBBF GOLDEN ALE
"Apparently more and more people liked drinking the
same beers as us, so we needed to brew more"
Within a few hard
working years it
was obvious that
the brewery could not keep
up with the growing thirst of
the Evening Star’s drinkers,
yet alone the demand for its
beers from other local pubs
and beer festivals.
Full and clean tasting,
initially malty then citrus fruit
and resinous hop build to
a quenching bitter finish.
Wonderfully aromatic floral
nose balanced by a gentle
bitterness with a hint
of sweetness.

In 2001, the team emptied
their piggy banks, cashed in
any ISA’s, sold TV’s and dug
around behind the sofa for
loose change, to relocate the
brewery to a new purposebuilt,

The Dark Star Brewing Company
was born in 1994 in the cellar of
The Evening Star Pub, in Brighton.
With a brew plant only marginally
bigger than an enthusiastic
home-brew kit the characteristic
style of hoppy beers was developed
and tried out on the willing guinea
pigs at the bar.
Triple fff launched in
1997 by Graham Trott,
a cabinet maker by
trade who was a keen home
brewer.
People liked his brews and
when he discovered that you
did not need to be a chemist
to brew beer commercially,
he decided to have a go.
argue this was the point the
hobby started to become a
proper business…some
would anyway. A few years
on, and once again the brewery
was on the move, this
time to a bigger site in Partridge
Green, just south west
of Horsham, West Sussex.

"Real ale that real ale drinkers drink"
He installed a 5 barrel plant
in one of the units vacated
by the now closed furniture
factory on Station Approach
in the village of Four Marks.
The station still operates on
the steam heritage
Watercress Line which runs
ten miles between Alton
and Alresford.
A perfect light colour and
dryness to complement the
crisp taste and full aroma
of the hops.

This beer is full-bodied and
full-flavoured yet gentle
enough to make it
a favourite session beer.
Triple fff Brewery was founded in
1997 with the aim of brewing "Real
ale that real ale drinkers drink!"
The year 2000 saw an
expansion into an 18 Barrel
plant and finally in 2006 the
brewery became what it is
today, a 50 Barrel system
brewing over 31,000 pints
a week.
Graham has been passionate
about beer from an early age.
