Thornbridge Brewery is bringing back its Reverend and the Makers summer ale as the band prepares to release a best of album in September.

Founder band member, Ed Cosens, met Thornbridge co-founder and owner, Simon Webster, in 2013 to develop the collaboration beer.

It’s a 4.8% ABV pale ale, light amd refreshing with a dry, floral finish. It’s available in cask from this week, with plans for a bottle run later in the year.

Cosens said: “Of all the beers we’ve done with Thornbridge, the original Summer Ale sticks out in mine and many people’s minds.

“I regularly get asked about it when talking to people about beer and am made up to have the chance to brew it again. Let’s hope for some sun this summer to enjoy it in!”

Webster added: “The first time we worked with Reverend and the Makers we made such as incredible beer, and we’ve had such a great relationship brewing so many beers with the band over the years.

“When Ed approached me about re-releasing the original brew to tie in with the best of album, I was delighted, and I can’t wait to see it out there.”
