Will Laithwaite
DRINKERS in Abingdon are being invited to help choose the first new beer brewed in the town since the closure of Morland.
The new Loose Cannon brewery, in Suffolk Way, off Ock Street, has created two trial brews for the public to choose which they want to become a permanent fixture in local pubs.
Brewer Will Laithwaite, 28, has created the two 4.1 per cent mid-brown bitters over the last month, but wants Abingdon’s drinkers to visit the brewery shop or the Brewery Tap pub, Ock Street, to give their views.
The chosen ale is set to be named Abingdon Bridge, and will the town’s first new beer since Greene King closed the town’s famous Morland brewery in 2000.
