Bathams is a brewery in Brierley Hill, West Midlands, England established in 1877 in a former slaughterhouse. The brewery is described by the CAMRA Good Beer Guide as "A classic Black country small brewery". It produces three cask conditioned beers, Best Bitter (4.3%), Mild (3.5%) and XXX (6.3%), a Christmas special. The Best Bitter won its highly contested class at the Great British Beer Festival in 1991. Bottled versions are also available at Bathams pubs.
