A MATCH MADE IN ALE: HAWKSTONE AND BUTCOMBE LAUNCH HOPS & GLORY
Beer lovers can now get their hands on Hops & Glory, a brand-new limited-edition Real English Pale Ale created by
Hawkstone and Butcombe Brewing Co, one of the UK’s leading cask brewers.
Arriving just in time for Cask Ale week (17th – 27th September 2026) and crafted using 100% British ingredients, Hops & Glory is a refreshing
4.2% ABV Real English Pale Ale that brings together two of Britain’s most-loved brewing brands in a celebration of British brewing and farming.
Brewed at Butcombe Brewing Co.’s state-of-the-art brewery in Bristol, the limited-edition pale ale taps into growing consumer demand for locally sourced products and authentic British brands, while shining a spotlight on the quality and character that have
made cask ale a cornerstone of the nation’s pub culture.
More than just a great-tasting beer, every cask sold helps support people across the hospitality and farming sectors through donations to the
Licensed Trade Charity (LTC) and Shout. The LTC provides financial, practical and wellbeing support to hospitality workers, while Shout is the UK’s free, confidential 24/7 text support service for people experiencing mental health challenges,
including a dedicated service for farmers. Together, the charities help thousands of people across the UK each year.
A true celebration of great British brewing, farming and craftsmanship, this collaboration sets out to unite farmers and hospitality workers around a shared purpose, to support the industries at the heart of British communities.
Jayson Perfect, COO at Butcombe Group said: “At Butcombe, we’ve been brewing cask ale for almost five decades, so collaborating on a beer that celebrates the best of British brewing and farming was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up. Hops &
Glory combines quality ingredients, brewing expertise and a shared love of great beer, resulting in a pale ale we’re incredibly proud to pour in pubs across the UK. It’s a celebration of provenance and craftsmanship, and we hope it encourages more people to
discover and enjoy one of Britain’s greatest brewing traditions.”
Andy Cross, Sales Director at Hawkstone commented: “Great beer starts with great ingredients, and Hops & Glory is a fantastic celebration of British farming and brewing from grain to glass. Working with Butcombe has brought together two brands that
share a passion for quality, provenance and creating beers people genuinely love to drink.”
Hops & Glory Pale Ale delivers vibrant citrus aromas, hints of tropical fruit, and a clean, crisp finish that makes it the perfect pint for any occasion.
It is available from today for a limited three-month period, on sale in all Butcombe managed pubs and selected pubs around the UK.
Whether you’re a cask ale enthusiast, a supporter of British farming, or simply looking to discover your next favourite pint, Hops & Glory is a celebration of great British brewing at its finest.
