A Norfolk brewery has launched a new beer that will help raise money for the county”s armed forces.
Wolf Brewery, which is based in Besthorpe, is producing the Hero cask beer after teaming up with a Norwich landlord, the Norwich Evening News reports.
Dougie Clarke convinced the brewery to introduce the drink after reading a book about his grandfather, who served in the first world war.
It will be on sale in his pub – the Duke of Wellington – as well as over 200 other outlets, meaning those wanting to sample it while staying in a Norfolk holiday cottage will probably not have to travel far.
"We hope the beer will play its part in demonstrating to our soldiers that we are behind them in the difficult challenge they face in a very dangerous part of the world," owner of Wolf Brewery John Edwards was quoted as saying.
And visitors to Norfolk can even check out the beverage being made, as the brewery offers tours to groups of between eight and 25 people.
