St Austell Brewery’s session pale ale Anthem, made with 100% British ingredients, is hitting supermarket shelves for the first time, in cans.
Crafted by brewing director Georgina Young, the beer is made with malted barley grown in Cornwall and East Anglia, as well as Golden Naked Oats from Northamptonshire.
Four UK-grown hop varieties — Target, Olicana, Jester, and Harlequin — bring the beer’s vibrant, fruit-packed flavours to life. The beer is on sale in some 650 Tesco stores nationwide.
“We’re delighted to see Anthem join the ranks of Tribute, Proper Job, and korev as part of our fantastic beer portfolio, now available for people to enjoy at home,” said Georgina.
“This beautifully light pale ale is bursting with juicy tropical notes of mango, peach, and apricot. With its slightly lower ABV of 3.4% in cans, it’s an easy-drinking, sessionable beer made with quality British ingredients — and despite the lower ABV, it doesn’t compromise on flavour.
“We’re especially proud of Anthem’s all-British line-up of ingredients. We work closely with our trusted network of suppliers to ensure we’re using the finest raw ingredients, showcasing the best of British brewing.
“The hops are exciting English varieties that emulate the juicy hop characteristics often associated with US beers. By sourcing our ingredients locally, we also support our sustainability efforts to reduce the environmental impact of our brewing operations.”
Anthem was the first core beer to be launched by Georgina in 2022 when it was introduced on bars in cask form. For those who prefer to enjoy a pint in the pub, Anthem (3.8% ABV) is available across a selection of St Austell Brewery’s managed pubs in the West Country.
