News of the brews
Brands Reunited, the umbrella operation of the recently re-launched ‘Home Ales’ brand from Nottingham, has secured its debut brew Robin Hood Pale Ale as an exclusive cask pale ale at Banksy’s latest exhibition in Weston-super-Mare, titled Dismaland.
Brands Reunited director Shaun Goode said: “We’ve felt from the outset of our launch that we wanted to show that we have great ambition and vision for re-launching these heritage brands.
“We come at things a little differently, and feel in the long run consumers will appreciate what we’re about through the beer we brew, and the spirit of the company.
More than 300,000 people are expected to attend Banksy’s exhibition over the coming weeks.
Goode continued: “Orders have been beyond expectation, we cannot be happier with the interest we have gained so far.”
Robin Hood Pale Ale is currently available in cask and is also available at Nottingham’s Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem Pub, Robin Hood Ale aims to be a well-balanced bitter, although hoppier than the beer recipes in the brewery’s core beer range.
