TRIBUTE (Enough said!)

It's Mark's birthday this week (and he orders the beer), so it's no surprise that we have got one of our favorite beers this week. Ladies and Gentlemen of Wreningham, I give you St Austell Brewery's 'Tribute'!

For WrenSocial regulars, we need say nothing more - but if you have been meaning to give the social club a look, this Thursday or Friday is the perfect week to drop in.

Here are a few facts about this pint of heaven in a glass:

A Supreme Champion Ale of Cornwall as voted by CAMRA, and the South West's Favourite cask beer (4.2%), Tribute is a popular favourite with locals and visitors to Cornwall, as well as being a much sought after brand throughout the rest of the UK. It is brewed using specially grown Cornish Gold Malt.

For foodies, Tribute is a perfect accompaniment to chicken, gammon or fish (WrenSocial note: We've got Pork Scratchings!) The ideal alternative to a fine white wine.

Roger Protz, Editor Good Beer Guide, wrote: "Tribute is a magnificent example of a bronze coloured English bitter, with a rich aroma of biscuity malt and tart citrus fruit from the Willamette hops. Juicy malt, hop resins and tangy fruit coat the tongue, while the finish is long and lingering, with a fine balance between malt, hops and fruit, finally becoming dry and bitter."
