Greene King Abbot Ale

Abbot Ale is one of the United Kingdom's most renowned and traditional premium cask ales, originally crafted by Greene King in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England. First brewed in the mid-20th century, the beer takes its name from the historic abbey of Bury St Edmunds and is celebrated for its distinctive amber color, rich fruit notes, and smooth malty character.

Throughout its brewing history, Abbot Ale has maintained its classic English brewing lineage at the historic Westgate Brewery in Suffolk. In 2019, Greene King was acquired by CK Asset Holdings, a major Hong Kong-based conglomerate founded by billionaire Li Ka-shing. Despite this corporate ownership transition, production has firmly remained in the United Kingdom.

For consumers in the United States and international markets, Abbot Ale is imported through regional craft beer and international specialty distributors. The brand is sometimes spelled or searched colloquially as 'Abbott Ale', but should not be confused with Abbott Laboratories, the unrelated American multinational healthcare and nutrition company.
