Thwaites Proudly Presents its 2012 Signature Range

 

Lancashire-based brewer Thwaites has revealed the names and descriptions of the 12 beers that will make up its new 2012 Signature Range of guest ales that will be brewed on its new micro-craft brewery.

The range covers a wide spectrum of brewing styles and strengths, from the light and refreshing fruit beer made with Lancashire Loganberries, Logan’s Run to the strong but mellow winter brew Old Dan.

Building on the success of the first Signature Range first introduced in 2011, Thwaites is aiming to continue to capture the imagination of drinkers whilst having some fun creating some quirky and interesting beers on its new craft micro-brewery.

The range will also celebrates key 2012 events such as the Olympic torch relay with Torch Light ale, Whet the Whistle to coincide with the European Championships in June and Egg Roller, a double fermented chocolate stout for Easter. 

2012 also sees the return of the much loved 13 Guns from the previous Signature Range,  an all- American hopped Pale Ale to coincide with the 4th July celebrations.

Lee Williams, marketing manager at Thwaites said: “The Signature Range in 2011 was a huge success and we are looking to build on this proposition of innovation and choice for our customers and drinkers. Along with Thwaites Wainwright, The

Signature Range is a significant driving force behind our 15% growth in cask ales in 2011, the sixth consecutive year of cask ale growth for us.”
As in 2011, the new Signature Range is presented in a simple craft-like format, offering customers continuity from one beer to the next. The pumpclips mirror the chalkboards used by Thwaites to promote its cask ales range in pub.

Added Lee Williams: “The 2012 Signature Range offers something for everybody and all kicks in January with winter warmers Old Dan and Tavern Porter both of which will be available at the Thwaites bar at the Manchester Ales Festival.”
