The Titanic Brewery is an independent producer of bottle conditioned and cask ales in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, England. Owner Keith Bott is also chairman of SIBA, the Society of Independent Brewers.
Titanic's beers are general notable for their light colour, low malt, and high hop content, giving a very dry bitter taste, although Captain Smith's and some of their seasonals are dark and malty, though still extremely hoppy.
