A Kent brewer will be toasting the reign of the Queen this year with a special limited edition 'Celebration Ale'.

Faversham's Shepherd Neame is creating the special brew to mark Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee.

The bespoke English ale - featuring local East Kent Goldings and Kentish Challenger hops - will be available on draught at a selection of its pubs throughout Kent, London and the South East during the extended Jubilee bank holiday weekend which runs from Thursday, June 2 to Sunday, June 5.

It will be 4.8% strength.

Chief executive Jonathan Neame said: “We have always supported the Queen’s jubilees with a special beer, and are delighted to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee with this Celebration Ale. We hope that our customers will enjoy raising a glass to toast this very special occasion.”
