Two of the longest-established independent businesses in the Northumberland market town of Alnwick have come together to brew their own beer.
Alnwick Brewery and butchers Turnbull's Northumbrian Food both date back to the 19th century and are collaborating to launch their '1880 Golden Ale'. The companies have been trading for more than 140 years and have combined to make what they describe as a 'traditional English golden ale with a medium hop bitterness'.
The 1880 refers to the year that Turnbull's was founded, while the brewery's origins can be traced even further back to around 1840 to the then Thompsons & Davison's. They were appointed as brewers to Algernon George Percy, 6th Duke of Northumberland on the site, which is now called The Maltings.
