Summer Lightning wins award

Regulars in pubs across the East Midlands and Yorkshire have chosen Summer Lightning as their favourite real ale for 2009.  Over 2,000 voters chose Summer Lightning as their number one beer ahead of many hundreds of other real ales in the Castle Rock Beer of the Year competition.
 
Managing Director David Law was delighted with this latest award. “We are enormously proud to have won an award which is voted for exclusively by the drinking public, demonstrating that customers continue to recognise Summer Lightning ahead of its competitors for its unique character and consistent quality” he said. “This is a perfect way for Summer Lightning to celebrate its 21st birthday this year”
 
Castle Rock, winners of the “Pub Group of the Year Award” 3 times since 2002, has been running its Beer of the Year poll for 11 years. Colin Wilde, Castle Rock’s commercial director, commented; “This remains the only regional poll of its kind in the UK. The response of our customers this year shows that they relish taste, appearance and quality above everything else.”
