Budweiser Budvar Oast House

The New World Trading Company has announced a milestone for the company, having sold more than 100,000 pints of Budweiser Budvar Tankové Pivo at The Oast House, Manchester.

The venue, which celebrated its fifth anniversary on Halloween, has been pouring from the tank since May and was the first Budweiser Budvar Tankové Pivo site outside of London.

Tank beer — or to give it its full name, Tankové Pivo — ensures that drinkers taste the freshest unpasteurised Budweiser Budvar from the hallowed cellars of the brewery in the Czech Republic.

Chris Hill, chief executive of The New World Trading Company, said: “We pride ourselves on offering the very best of world beers and ales, so we are thrilled to have reached such an important milestone as well as continuing to help Manchester remain as the world’s capital for Tank Beer.”

Simon George, managing director of Budweiser Budvar UK, added: “We have had an overwhelming reaction so far to Budweiser Budvar Tankové Pivo. Manchester as a city has a strong beer scene so we aren’t surprised that our Tankové Pivo has been embraced by people in the city looking for a lager with authenticity and a brewery fresh taste.”
