Gold Medal Ales are produced monthly in recognition of some of the ’greats’ of history. This month’s story :-
In July 1568, the distinguished cleric Dr Alexander Nowell, Dean of St. Pauls, accidentally discovered bottled beer. He decanted some beer into a bottle for a fishing expedition, but during the afternoon he lost it in the long grass. He found it again several days later. By then he described it thus " No bottle, but a gun, so great was the sound". However the beer was still perfectly drinkable and eventually became a popular way for a brewer to present his wares to the public.
