I think we can all agree that 2020 has been a year that we will never forget and it is safe to say that back in December 2019 we would have never imagined how different the world would be a year on.
We would like to say a huge thank you to all our customers for your continued support, especially through one of the most challenging years. Whilst this year has been different, we have had some memorable and successful moments. In February, the film 'Judy' starring Renee Zellweger won an Oscar and our London pub, The Jerusalem Tavern was lucky enough to be featured in this fantastic biography. In March, we launched our new beer 'Farmer's Flagon' to commemorate 100 years of The National Farmer's Union in Suffolk. In April, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, we launched our Call & Collect service to allow local customers to collect beer during lockdown whilst our brewery shop was closed. In June, we gave our 5 litre mini kegs a well deserved makeover and our new design was unveiled. In August, our fantastic Cream Stout won Gold in the SIBA Independent beer awards. In October, we hit 7000 brews since the brewery opened in 1996! Our 7000th brew was our highly popular Plum Porter. Also in October, our Citrus Beer won Gold in the 'flavoured + fruit' category in the Global Beer Masters 2020 awards.
We hope that next year will be much brighter and we look forward to providing you with more premium, award-winning and delicious beers in 2021 and beyond.
Despite this year being very different and having to change the way we celebrate, we hope you all have a happy Christmas and we look forward to seeing you in 2021.
Keep safe and merry Christmas,
The St. Peter's team
