MP Peter Aldous yesterday presented a guest beer from his Waveney constituency to the House of Commons.
 
‘Best Bitter’, which is brewed at St Peter’s Brewery is on sale in the Stranger’s Bar for a week commencing on 19th November.
 
Mr Aldous who suggested the idea said:
 
“I am delighted that ‘Best Bitter’ was successful in being selected as guest ale of the week and it’s appropriate to acknowledge the hard work of everyone at St Peters Brewery in making this possible. It is important to support local pubs and breweries and Best Bitter’s availability in the Stranger’s Bar will enable Parliamentarians to develop a taste for Waveney.”
 
Mark Slater, Head Brewer and Production Director at St Peter“s Brewery, said:
 
“It is fantastic to be in the Parliament bar to introduce OUR beer and we would like to see more people visit St Peter’s brewery as a consequence.”
 
Mr Aldous took an active role in the successful campaign for the Chancellor to cut beer duty in his March Budget, having visited St Peter’s Brewery and witnessed first-hand the consequences of this alleviated tax on people who rely on beer and pubs for their livelihood.
