T&R Theakston is raising a pint in celebration of the forthcoming coronation with the launch of a special edition beer, brewed in honour of HRH King Charles III.
Crowning Glory, a 4.2% ABV speciality regal gold beer, has been crafted using a grist of Britain’s finest Pale and Crystal malt to give a robust character.
The beer features a honeyed, blackcurrant sweetness, which is balanced by premium English hops, which provide subtle citrussy spiced cedar overtones.
The beer continues the brewery’s tradition of creating limited edition ales to celebrate royal occasions. It joins a distinguished lineage, including Celebration Ale, which marked Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee in 1977, and, most recently, Royal Salute, which commemorated the Diamond and Platinum Jubilees in 2012 and 2022.
“As a brewery, we’re immensely proud of our almost 200-year heritage, and it’s fascinating to consider that, as a business, we have been witness to nine monarchs and seven coronations,” said Simon Theakston, joint managing director at Theakston Brewery.
“It’s only right we continue the honourable tradition of celebrating these key historic moments for our country by creating a special beer to mark the coronation of King Charles III on 6th May.”
In addition to being available to pubs across the UK, Theakston is also creating a limited-edition bottle run of the beer, which will be available to purchase from the brewery’s Visitor Centre in Masham and its online store.
