BRISTOL's OWN NITRO STOUT
Black Gates is Bristol's own Nitro Stout.
If you’re from Bristol, you split the B.
Because of you, Black Gates 4.1% is now BS1's biggest selling Nitro Stout. But it’s not just Bristol. During the 2026 year’s Men’s Six Nations, Black Gates 4.1% was pouring in pubs from Exeter to Swindon. Scroll down to the BLACK GATES MAP to find a pint.
By drinking a Nitro Stout from Bristol Beer Factory, you're giving back to Bristol with every pint you buy. You're also supporting your local pub, because by delivering Black Gates directly from our independent brewery, we give hardworking landlords the best possible price, a saving they can pass on to you over the bar.
BLACK GATES 4.1%
True-to-style nitro stout, expect creamy, smooth balance.
Brewed and poured with historic pride in Bristol.
POUR YOURSELF A CAN
When we launched Black Gates we said it was pub only. "It's a Nitro Stout!" we said, "the creamy head simply cannot come from a can!"
WE WERE WRONG. So without further ado, we're happy to admit: BLACK GATES IS NOW IN CAN. It's VEGAN and GLUTEN FREE. It's INDEPENDENT. And it tastes damn good.
Simply INVERT AND HARD POUR.
The hard pour
