Any excuse to make that dreadful pun.Whilst the Merry Hill does a very fine pint of Pedigree, sadly it doesn't stock this gem. Which deserves a well deserved plug on this blog and for really good reasons.
Westerham's William Wilberforce Freedom Ale.
Not only does it celebrate William Wilberforce, The Clapham Sect and their wonderful achievements .
The beer is also in keeping with the ideals of Wilberforce and the Clapham Sect. For instance the beer uses Fairtrade Sugar. Whilst 10% of profits from the beer goes to the Stop The Traffik campaign which fights against the global complacency that has allowed human trafficking to thrive across the world.
They also are not averse to the odd bad pun either with their other Fairtrade beer Godswallop (something this blog would never...) http://www.westerhambrewery.co.uk/News1207.htm
But most importantly (at least to this fan of beer) it is an extremely tasty beer. Real ale fans will be pleased to know that Roger Protz has given it the thumbs up http://www.beer-pages.com/notes/beer-of-the-month-2007-05.shtml
It's available at most supermarkets including Waitrose on Penn Road. A beer highly recommended by this blog and for all the right reasons! Enjoy. Alelujah (sorry, no more, I promise).
