Herefordshire-based Wye Valley Brewery are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their award-winning 1985 lager.
Crisp, refreshing, and easy-drinking, 1985 is brewed using British-grown hops alongside European lager hops.
Launched in pubs in 2016, 1985 (or ’85 as it is affectionately known by its loyal following) has earned a host of brewing awards while establishing itself as one of the region’s favourite premium lagers.
At a time when new lagers arrive on the market every summer and many familiar brands are produced by multinational brewing groups, 1985 continues to stand apart through its authentic brewing heritage, quality ingredients, and genuine independence, says the brewer.
It stands alongside the brewery’s much-loved portfolio of beers, including Butty Bach, HPA, and the smooth and creamy nitro stout Nightjar.
“Lager is one of the most competitive beer categories in the industry, with new brands launching every year, which makes reaching our 10th anniversary a milestone to be proud of,” said Max Amor, son of Wye Valley Brewery managing director Vernon Amor.
“Every pint and every can of 1985 is brewed here in Herefordshire by our team, using British-grown hops alongside traditional European lager hops. And, as an independent, third-generation family brewery, we’re passionate about brewing beers with real character and provenance — something we think people appreciate and can taste that difference.”
