UNIQUE AMERICAN CRAFT BEER CELEBRATION AT WHITE HORSE, PARSON’S GREEN

The White Horse on Parson’s Green is playing host to a unique American craft beer night on draught, Friday 6th August 2010.

Grab your chance to sample the outstanding flavours and diversity of one of the most exciting and innovative beer scenes in the world in an exclusive one-off celebration of American craft brewing.

Some 26 beers, many of which have never before been seen in the UK, will be available on draught throughout Friday 6th August at the White Horse in celebration of the vibrant American craft beer movement. A wide array of beer styles will include pale ales, stouts, porters and beers from award winning brewers such as Odell, Left Hand Brewing and Stone as well as lesser known beers such as the intriguingly named Porkslap from Butternuts and Bacon Brown Ale from Uncommon Brewers.

Dan Fox, general manager of the White Horse, says: “We are looking to dispel the myth that American beer is all bland fizzy lager. What we have on offer this Friday is the real thing - authentic American beers brewed with passion by skilled and experienced experts to create beers of style, substance and integrity with real depth of flavour and character.”

America is home to more than 1,500 brewers and craft beer is the fastest growing segment of the market. Friday night’s event will give British drinkers an insight into why this style of brewing is proving so popular and bring the distinctive culture of American brewing to a corner of south west London. American beers will be available all day. Regular prices apply. Entry is free.

The US Brewers Association together with renowned American brewers are in London this week as part of the Great British Beer Festival taking place at Earl’s Court.
