The Stonegate Pub Company has partnered with Wells & Young to offer a Diamond Jubilee ale which will be available in selected Yates’s, Slug and Lettuce and a number of unbranded pubs within the Stonegate estate. In addition to offering a specially badged beer, the pubs across the estate will also be selling commemorative tankards as souvenirs of the special occasion.
The 4.0%abv beer is brewed using the finest English hops including the special “Sovereign Hop” variety. The refreshing malty flavoured beer delivers a citrus tang but with a distinctive bitterness, making it the perfect beer to raise a glass and toast Queen Elizabeth and her 60 spectacular years on the throne.
Miles Selby, Head of Purchasing at Stonegate Pub Company said: “What better way to celebrate the Jubilee than offering our customers across 334 businesses a special Diamond Jubilee ale. This follows the great success of our recent Spring Beer Festival where 120 of our pubs showcased some of the best of British brewing. The tankards look fantastic and will certainly help our customers to get into the spirit of the Diamond Jubilee as well as acting as reminder of this historic event.”
