Timothy Taylor’s – one of the UK’s oldest independent breweries with over 160 years’ heritage – is marking the coronation of the King with a special one-off rebrewing of an old favourite, Celebration Ale.
Celebration Ale was originally brewed under the name Royal Ale, to commemorate the visit to the brewery of HRH The Prince of Wales in 2001. Then in 2008 it reappeared as Celebration Ale, mainly in cask format, to celebrate Timothy Taylor’s 150th anniversary.
It has now been lovingly rebrewed to its original recipe, to celebrate the coronation of the King on Saturday 6 May 2023.
Celebration Ale is a strong English amber ale with a rich bronze colour and weighs in at 5.0% ABV. It’s robust with a fruity, candied peel aroma and has subtle hints of dried fruits, orange, and apricot on the tongue.
It will be available in cask in pubs throughout Timothy Taylor’s own estate, including their brewery tap, Taylor’s on the Green in Keighley, and their managed pub, the Woolly Sheep Inn in Skipton. It is also being sampled at Brew//LDN, which runs over the coronation weekend.
It will also be available in many other pubs dotted around the UK. Timothy Taylor’s advises that if customers are unsure if their local is stocking it, it would be worth contacting the pub directly.
Celebration Ale will also be available in vegan-friendly 500ml bottles direct from Timothy Taylor’s webshop. The bottles are available in packs of 16, 24, 32, and 48, and as part of a two-bottle gift pack with a tulip pint glass, and as an addition to their pick and mix boxes. All orders include free UK delivery and a free gift message.
Ends.
