As the excitement builds for this year’s Euro Championships in Germany, Nethergate Brewery is thrilled to unveil our latest cask beer release for June and July: Road To Glory Pale Ale. This easy-drinking pale ale with light tropical and citrus notes is the real winner of this year’s tournament! Settle your nerves and soak up the atmosphere with a pint of Road To Glory as we all get behind the team on their “road to glory!”
In honour of the tournament and Southgate’s Swan Song, we’ve given Road To Glory a glow-up with new pump clip artwork and a refined recipe. Given the popularity of this beer from previous footballing tournaments, we didn’t want to completely redefine its taste and character. Instead, we’ve been busy trialling, tweaking, and tasting over the last few weeks until we crafted an updated brew with a refreshed pump clip.
The Perfect Pint for Football Fans
There’s something special about enjoying a beer dedicated to a significant event, especially one as beloved as football. In the UK, pub culture is deeply intertwined with sports, and a well-crafted cask beer enhances the experience of watching a match. Fans gather in pubs, the heart of the community, where the atmosphere is charged with suspense and excitement. A beer like Road To Glory not only celebrates the event but also elevates the moment, making every goal and every cheer that much more enjoyable.
How Does It Taste?
Our brewers have carefully selected the hops to ensure Road To Glory offers a flavour profile that makes for a perfect pint when you’re watching the action unfold with your mates. This pale ale offers a quaintly balanced and light flavour profile with fresh notes of tropical fruits and a light, citrusy, zesty finish thanks to the creative blend of Mosaic, Columbus, and Citra hops. It’s refreshing, full of character, and easy to drink—perfect for when you’re watching your team in a tournament.
Ian Carson, our Head Brewer and an avid football fan said “With all the excitement and hope around Gareth’s squad this year in Germany, we knew we needed a pale ale worthy of their pursuit of glory! We reckon Road To Glory hits the spot perfectly”
