A limited edition ale brewed to mark the celebration of the official 90th birthday of Her Majesty the Queen. HMQ Celebration Ale is a full-bodied traditional beer using only the finest English ingredients. It combines Pale Ale and Crystal malts with Challenger and Goldings hops and Bramling Cross hops are then added as a dry hop during maturation to impart fruity blackcurrant notes to the beer's aroma. HMQ Celebration Ale will be available on cask (4.5% ABV) during June 2016 with a regal purple pump clip. It will also be available in a traditional amber 750ml bottle (6.5% ABV). Only 900 bottle-conditioned beers are being released each encased within a purple presentation box. HMQ Celebration Ale will be available on cask at selected Shepherd Neame pubs with 750ml bottles available from the brewery shop.
