Island Brewery has created an exclusive new ale to celebrate the launch of Wightlink Ferries’ Victoria of Wight, which was christened by HRH Countess of Wessex during a ceremony on the Isle of Wight this September.
Also named Victoria of Wight, the new ale is a 3.8% light golden bottled ale that is now available onboard all Wightlink Ferries and its shoreside café in Portsmouth, England.
“The ale is a great addition to the range of local products that we offer through our Taste the Wight outlets,” said Simon Lewis, head of retail at Wightlink. “We thoroughly enjoyed working with the team at Island Brewery to create this special ale and hope our customers enjoy it as much as we do.”
Island Brewery is Wightlink’s long-time supplier of locally bottled beer and collaborated with the ferry operator to create the new ale.
“We worked closely with Wightlink to create an ale to be proud of and are pleased to see it onboard Victoria of Wight being enjoyed by customers or being taken home as a gift from our beautiful island,” said Chris Mousley, sales director at Island Brewery.”
