BEER lovers in Berkshire have double the reason to say cheers thanks to two local brewers.
Finchampstead based Elusive Brewing has teamed up with the RABBLE Theatre to produce a new beer even the Bard would love.
Called Chaos of Succession, it will be launched when the Caversham company stages a production of Henry I at Reading’s Abbey Ruins later this month.
Ruth Mitchell, managing director of Elusive Brewing said:“We are thrilled to be teaming up with RABBLE Theatre on this project and hope this beer enhances what we are sure will be an amazing performance.”
Toby Davies, co-artistic director of RABBLE Theatre added: “We’re absolutely delighted to be partnering with Elusive Brewing on this gorgeous new beer. Henry I, who is buried in Reading, devoted his life to establishing peace, but what he actually left was the Chaos of Succession.”
The beer will launch at The Grumpy Goat, Union Street in Reading on Friday, June 9, and will be available to purchase at RABBLE Theatre’s performances of Henry I from Tuesday, June 13. The beer will also be available at venues across Reading and to purchase from Elusive Brewing’s Taproom and webshop.
Meanwhile, Mysterious Brewing from Silchester enjoyed a record breaking launch at six events over four days, selling over 1,100 pints to satisfied customers.
Co-founder, Ken Barker said: “We started at the Nags Head in Wokingham with other venues including the Hoppy Place in Maidenhead and the Bracknell Beer Festival.
“We actually ran out of beer at the Nags Head and then at the Hive in Crowthorne, so we are now brewing some more delicious beers. We received a lot of positive feedback which was wonderful.
“We want to give a big thanks to Andy Watts who owns the Little London brewery in Silchester where we brew our beer when Andy isn’t making some of his own amazing beers.”
