Wye Valley Brewery launches new beers for 2009
Herefordshire’s Wye Valley Brewery has designed a range of new beers for every month of 2009.
Some of the beers are brewed with local ingredients such as Herefordshire honey and Herefordshire nettles.
Others are named after local icons. These include a beer to celebrate the Hereford Mappa Mundi, the largest surviving medieval map in the world and a beer to celebrate the centenary year of the local Morgan Motor company.
Lizzie Thomas, marketing executive at Wye Valley, said: “Pubs are always looking for new beers. It’s exciting for customers to see something different behind the pump every month. They enjoy trying beers with different ABV’s and different tastes.â€
She added: “Many of the Wye Valley beers this year will have a local theme. Herefordshire is a great county for hops and we wanted to celebrate that."
