Whitbread Pale Ale is to return to London pubs… after a 50-year break! Under a new agreement the ale, last brewed in 1976, will be produced again – under licence – by the Windsor & Eton Brewery.
Whitbread Pale Ale
It is now available exclusively at the Draft House, in Old Street in the capital for the coming month, after Windsor & Eaton went into partnership with the Pioneer Brewing Company on the venture.
The reworked classicis described as “a bright pale amber colour, with light biscuit malt notes, a refreshing aroma from a blend of five hops, and a light bitterness on the finish”.
After its month-long run at the Draft House, the beer will be available as a 4 per cent cask ale or as 4.4 per cent (330ml) bottled brew from the Pioneer Brewing Company.
The Whitbread brewery was founded by Samuel Whitbread in London in 1742, and first brewed pale ale in the 1860s.
