Shepherd Neame has announced Celebration Ale as its special to mark The Queen’s forthcoming Platinum Jubilee.
The English ale (4.8% ABV) will be available on draught at a selection of Shepherd Neame pubs throughout Kent, London, and the South East during the extended Jubilee bank holiday weekend (2nd-5th June).
Crafted using the best of British barley, Celebration Ale boasts light caramel notes and a deep golden hue. Local East Kent Goldings hops add a spiciness to the citrus and fruit aromas, balanced with subtle bitterness from a generous hopping of Kentish Challenger.
Shepherd Neame has a long association with the Royal family, holding Royal Warrants for its Grants Morella Cherry Brandy and flagship Spitfire Amber Ale.
Chief executive, Jonathan Neame, said: “We have always supported the Queen’s Jubilees with a special beer, and are delighted to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee with this Celebration Ale. We hope that our customers will enjoy raising a glass to toast this very special occasion!”
