Titanic Brewery launches new Stafford Riverway Link ale
THE local Titanic Brewery and the Stafford Riverway Link restoration project have joined forces and launched a new ale, Stafford Link.
It will be available in Titanic’s Stafford premises, The Sun Inn, on Lichfield Road, and the bod Stafford café bar in Weeping Cross, where the launch took place and the first pints of the new ale were sampled. The ale is a pale gold, malty bitter with a hint of grapefruit.
Brewery director Dave Bott, who was presented with a lifetime membership certificate on behalf of the Titanic by Riverway Link chairman Paul Bryan, said: “We are happy and proud to have been able to work with the Riverway Link team over a number of years now and see this ale as a way to help raise the project’s profile and to progress further.
“I personally think that this an exciting opportunity to restore a piece of Stafford’s history while at the same time bringing additional tourists into the town, which will help our local businesses.” The Stafford Link will be a guest ale in the local Titanic premises and a contribution from sales will be donated to the Riverway Link project.
Paul added: “We really appreciate and welcome the input from like the Titanic Brewery, which has given our project great support over the years. We look forward to that continuing into the future.
“We hope that local people enjoy this ale and that it also encourages them and other local businesses to find out more about our restoration work and to get involved.”
