Where
will you find an Orchard Pig Reveller side by side with a Knight of the Garter?
A Rutland Panther sitting next to a Black Sheep? Or a Speyside Oak Aged Blonde
rubbing shoulders with Admiral Lord Collingwood? You’ll find all of these -
plus many more interesting beers, ales and ciders - on Brodie’s Great British
Beer Menu on
P&O
Cruises newest ship Britannia when it launches next March.
The
Great British Beer Menu features 70 different bottled beers, ales and ciders
from 56 UK counties
including pilsners, ales, stouts, gluten-free beer and speciality beers such as
Chocolate Tom from Robinson’s Brewery in Cheshire,
Ginger Hare from Bath Ales in Somerset
and Orange Peel from the Wadsworth Brewery in Wiltshire.
P&O
Cruises spent months scouring the UK to source this selection of beers both
from smaller,
local, artisan brewers such as Windsor & Eton Brewery (Berkshire), Elgoods
Brewery (Cambridge), Whitewater Brewery (Belfast), Fyne Ales (Dumbarton),
Felinfoel Brewery (Pembrokeshire), Okell`s (Isle of Man) and the Hilden Brewing
Company (County Antrim) as well as renowned breweries including Marstons (West
Midlands), Greene King (Suffolk), Belhaven (Dumfries), Fullers (London),
Theakstons (North Yorkshire), Brew Dog (Aberdeen) and Hall & Woodhouse
(Dorset).
P&O Cruises marketing director Christopher Edgington said: “The UK boasts more
breweries per head of population than any other country in the world with the
industry growing at over 10% each year. This new beer menu celebrates the
growing popularity of traditionally made British beers and ciders and reflects
our aim of showcasing the very best that Britain has to offer.”
The Great British Beer Menu is available in Brodie’s, a classic pub
which is named after one of the founders of P&O Cruises, Brodie McGhie
Wilcox. A great place to meet with friends, relax with a beer or glass of wine,
Brodie’s offers a variety of entertainment including quizzes, live music and karaoke
as well as poker and roulette tables in the adjoining casino.
