DRINKERS will be able to toast the England rugby team during this month’s Six Nations tournament with a specially commissioned beer.
Blind Side has been brewed at Masham’s Black Sheep Brewery with an all-English pack of eight hops varieties and will be available in pubs as a cask ale throughout February.
A 4.3% ABV ruby ale, Blind Side was originally launched to celebrate England hosting the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
And with the beer performing better in pubs than the England rugby team during the World Cup, the brewery team returned to its microbrewery plant to bring back Blind Side for the Six Nations, which kicks off on February 6.
Sales and marketing director Jo Theakston said: “The Six Nations is one of the most famous tournaments in world sport and is always a fantastic advert for northern hemisphere rugby.
“It’s also one of those events that’s best enjoyed in a communal atmosphere and in particular the pub, which is why we are bringing back Blindside for the Six Nations.”
