Two iconic companies have joined forces to create a special kind of brew.

If you like tea and beer, then you're in luck because Lancashire Tea has collaborated with a popular local brewery, The Farm Yard Brew Company. Celebrating Lancashire day on November 27, the teams have put their heads together to create the 'Ooh Ahh Lancashire' pale ale at 4.2% ABV.

Best served chilled rather than fresh from the kettle, the Lancashire Tea pale ale will be available to buy from selected Booths stores this month. The drink "is a classic pale that balances a subtle bitterness with the fruit & floral notes of the hops".

Lancashire Tea is one of the fastest-growing tea brands in the UK, originally developed to complement the taste of the county's water. The Farm Yard Brew Company started in 2016 in Cockerham and has been in the family for five generations.

The farm now houses a 400,000 litre brew plant with a large range of beers and a taproom where visitors can come and enjoy a pint while watching the brewing process.

“Some partnerships just feel right and bringing the flavour of our brew to a pale ale seemed too good an opportunity to miss. It will give customers of both brands the chance to celebrate everything great about the county on Lancashire Day,” said Phil Toms, Marketing Director Lancashire Tea.

Danny Ellidge, Exec Director of Farm Yard Brew Company said: “We love working with people whose business reflects our own in their passion & quality and the team at Lancashire Tea have both in abundance so it just makes sense!”
