The Walrus & Carpenter in Monument, London, was the venue for the launch of a new summer ale we’ve brewed with and for Nicholson’s pubs, as part of their latest guest ale programme.

The recipe for Welsummer, a 4.5% pale ale, brewed using a blend of four American hops (Cascade, Chinook, Citra & Eldorado) and named after a breed of chicken, was devised by a group of the pub company’s managers, following an afternoon spent sampling various ingredients at the brewery in early May.

The beer will be available across the Nicholson’s estate until the end of August.
