The M&S Guest Beer range in 440ml cans at £3 each, features three new craft beers created from two UK breweries, curated by Real Drinks.  Involved in this bespoke range Arbor Ales from Bristol and Brick Brewery in London. 

Richard Sharp accounts manager at Real Drinks said: “The purpose of this range is to showcase a true collaboration between M&S and UK craft brewing. 

“A brilliant match, taking inspiration from the quality of some of M&S best products with the innovation and skill of two of the best UK craft breweries.  We were able to produce three modern beers, complete in uniquely M&S branded 440ml cans.”

Brick Brewery has created the Very Berry Sour 5.8%.  Combining M&S’s deep knowledge of seasonal fruit with Bricks love and experience for fruited sours.  Fruited with hedgerow berries (raspberry, sloe, blackberry and blackcurrant) offering notes of blackcurrant jam and blackberry coulis. The resulting beer is a marriage of shared knowledge to produce one cracking beer.

Arbor Ales have created a Salted Caramel Stout 6%.  Inspired by the decadence of the M&S Billionaires Yumnut.  Creating this milk chocolate, biscuit and salted caramel stout to recreate the flavour experience in a drink. And a Raspberry Royale 5.5%.  Inspired by the ever so moreish M&S Raspberry Royale Yumnuts.  This lightly hopped fruity pale ale is brewed with tart raspberries and a touch of sweet vanilla on the finish. 

Real Drinks has supplied Marks and Spencer with its own label drinks, as well as a range of well known drinks brands, since 2007.
