Thwaites Brews Exclusively for M&B IPA Festival

11.08.2011

Lancashire-based brewer Daniel Thwaites has gone back to its roots to brew an exclusive IPA for the Mitchells & Butlers IPA Festival.

Dan's IPA, named after the brewery's famous founder Daniel Thwaites, will feature at
the first ever M&B IPA Festival which runs from 22 August-4 September.

Featuring four of the finest hop varieties combined to create a refreshingly bitter
taste, Dan's IPA is one of over 20 IPAs to be brewed exclusively for the festival.

Goldings and Fuggles provide the aroma combined with Bramling Cross and Styrian hops
that lend the beer its distinct refreshing flavour to complement the characteristic
IPA bitter notes.

The 4.6% ABV will be available at Mitchells & Butlers outlets taking part in
the festival including Nicholsons, Ember Inns, Castle and Vintage Inns.

Lee Williams, marketing manager of Thwaites said: "It's great for Thwaites to be part of the IPA Festival and to be showcased as part of over 20 of the very best IPAs the UK has to offer.

"We're extremely proud of Dan's IPA which has been created exclusively as an additional beer in our Signature Range, which is really starting to capture the imagination of our
customers and drinkers alike."
