Brakespear pub group extends its beer list

2nd February 2010, 8:11am

The Brakspear pub group has extended the list of cask ales available to its tenants from the current offer of four permanent ales to 14.

Ales on the new list include some of the best-sellers from the Marston's portfolio. Brakspear Bitter remains a 'must stock', but tenants can now add to their cask range from names such as Marston's Pedigree and Jennings Sneck Lifter, as well as local favourites Old Hooky and Hobgoblin.

Seasonal ales will change every month starting in February with the Brakspear Special. Brakspear is supporting the reappearance of this 'old favourite' with a competition for one customer to win a special prize- a day as a brewer at the Wychwood Brewery in Witney, where Brakspear beers are brewed.

Commercial director Tom Davies said: "Cask ale is one of the big success stories of the pub trade and we're doing all we can to help our tenants profit from the growth in this sector. 

"The expanded beer list will enable more Brakspear tenants to offer their customers an interesting range of cask beers, which is a proven way of keeping pubs busy despite the recession and driving not just sales of beer, but of other drinks and food."
