A CHAMPION brewery is raising a glass to celebrate the ‘Taste of Cheshire’ with the launch of brand new bottled brew.

 

The Coach House Brewing Company, based at Warrington, will unveil the bottled version of its popular Cheshire Gold beer to mark the opening of the Vale Royal Food and Garden Festival, on Saturday and Sunday, October 18 and 19.

 

The free event, held at The Hollies Farm Shop, at Little Budworth, will be a showcase of the region’s finest produce, from delicious meats, pates and cheese to tasty beers and wines.

 

The Coach House Brewing Company is amongst Cheshire’s finest beer makers, having taken home countless awards for their prize winning brews over the past 17 years.

 

The cask version of Cheshire Gold has been a regular at free houses across the county for the past 18 months, with bosses at the brewery seeing the festival at The Hollies as the ideal chance to launch the bottled brand.

 

The Coach House Brewing Company sales nmanager Greg Bolton said: “As a brewery which prides itself on its Cheshire heritage we are delighted to be able to team up with The Hollies Farm Shop for what will be an amazing celebration of the finest local produce.

 

“We have worked hard to create a beer that we think captures the very best the county has to offer, so we could think of no better location than The Hollies to give the bottled version of Cheshire Gold its first outing.”

 

Nicknamed the ‘Harrods Food Hall of the North’, The Hollies Farm Shop is famed for offering the finest delicacies and local produce, having landed the Visit Chester and Cheshire’s Best Food Retailer award for the past three years.

 

The shop is organising the Food and Garden Festival along with Vale Royal Borough Council.

 

Director of The Hollies Ed Cowap said: “We are proud to welcome The Coach House Brewing Company to the Food and Garden Festival.

 

“The brewery has an incredible reputation across Cheshire for producing fantastic beers and ales. It is tremendous to have a brewery like The Coach House Brewing Company on our doorsteps, and we look forward to them showing off Cheshire Gold.”

 

Cheshire Gold will be The Coach House Brewing Company’s second ever bottled beer, and will be sold at The Hollies Farm Shops in Little Budworth and Lower Stretton following the festival.

 

The brewery has developed strong ties with The Hollies over the past year, with the shops being the first to stock their last bottled brew Blueberry Classic Bitter, which has proved to be a popular tipple amongst customers.
