The Brexit impact on beers

The Morning Advertiser ​takes a look at the brews that have been unveiled since the Brexit result of the EU referendum in June last year.

Yorkshire brewer Little Valley Brewery created three pale ales​ – called Vote In, Vote Out and Vote IDK (I don’t know) – which it wanted to use to encourage debate and conversations around the possibility of Brexit.

Co-owner and founder of Little Valley Brewery Sue Cooper said at the time of the EU referendum: “We know that everyone down the pub likes to think they are a political expert, and these beers will help spark that great debate.”

The beers were available in cask and bottles.
