A new fruit beer launched by Suffolk’s St Peter’s Brewery has been named the winner of a national Brewed for Morrisons Beer Festival competition.
The competition, which saw the retailer stock a range of new brews throughout October, has awarded micro-brewery St Peter’s a national contract for Plum Porter, its new fruit beer. Plum Porter will be available in 400 Morrisons stores nationwide.
St Peter’s chief executive, Steve Magnall, said: “We are delighted to win this competition and gain a national listing for our new Plum Porter. The fact that it was a dark beer that came out on top with Morrisons’ customers proves that tastes are changing.
“Our Plum Porter is a dark, sweet, full-bodied porter, with background notes of damson and blackcurrant that are followed by the fruitiness of the plum in flavour and aroma.
“It’s a perfect, warming beer for the winter season, and obviously went down very well with Morrisons customers and buyers. We hope it continues to sell well in store.”
