Visitors heading to the north-east of England for a stay in a Northumberland holiday cottages may want to try a limited-edition beer launched to support the upcoming illumination of Hadrian’s Wall.
Wylam Brewert has teamed up with Hardian’s Wall Heritage to introduce the pale ale, which went on sale in pubs and bars across the region at the start of this month ahead of the event, which takes place this weekend.
Commenting on the new tipple, Julie Sloan of Hadrian’s Wall Heritage said: "We wanted people to toast Illuminating Hadrian’s Wall with a special local brew to reflect the spirit of the occasion".
He added that the body "jumped at the chance" to work with Wylam Brewery to produce the beverage.
The launch comes after Wylam Brewery introduced a new beer for the Collingwood 2010 Festival, which is running throughout the year in order to mark the 200th anniversary of the death of Admiral Lord Collingwood.
