We are thrilled to share news of the launch of a new Anspach & Hobday collaboration with The Tate Britain, exclusively available at the bars and cafes of The Tate galleries and A&H venues and webshop.

As covered in The MA earlier today, In celebration of Tate Britain's new Hogarth and Europe exhibition, we have brewed Hogarth Golden Ale.

Available exclusively at The Tate Modern Bar and Tate Britain's Djanogly Cafe AND at Anspach & Hobday venues: The Arch House, The Pigeon & The Croydon Tap. There is even some limited stock on our Webshop.

Our brewery has always pursued creative collaborations and we are really pleased to share the best of what we do with a new audience at The Tate. Hogarth was a creative pioneer and we are honoured for our beer to pay tribute to his work. Our fantastic range of beers are branded with illustrations drawn by our incredibly talented illustrator Alan Batley. We are thrilled that Alan's great work is now on show at The Tate!

Read below to find out more about the beer and this interesting label, and our gallery of photos from The Tate.

About The Label - Head of Sales, Edd Clibbens

"Using Hogarth's self portrait (The Painter and his Pug) and Plate 1 from his book Analysis of Beauty, our artist Alan Batley sought to twist these works to include a variety of imagery from seven years of Anspach & Hobday designs. Alongside the pug, you will see our mascot, The Pigeon. Around the edges are the characters from our core range beers alongside iconography from some of our special releases. The characters represent employees, shareholders and friends of the brewery. Alan's style lends itself perfectly to reflect Hogarth's original work, whilst his own subtle sense of humour is a nod to the father of satire himself."

About The Beer - Head of Sales, Edd Clibbens

"We were honoured to be tasked with brewing a beer to celebrate the Hogarth and Europe exhibition at Tate Britain. The first thing that sprang to mind was to combine a classic English bitter with some of our favourite European hops. With the recent resurgence in the popularity of traditional British beer styles, it seemed like the perfect fit. Developing the idea further to appeal to both traditional and modern drinkers, we settled on a golden ale. A beer lighter in style than a bitter, but very much in keeping with the original vision. We chose to contrast this with two of the finest modern German hops - Hallertau Blanc and Huell Melon - giving aromas of white grape, apricot and elderflower. The final result is Hogarth's Golden Ale and we think it's the perfect fit for such an illustrious exhibition."
