Everards Brewery is donating five pence to The British Forces Foundation for every pint of its Regimental IPA beer sold next month.

The Limited Edition brew - a tribute to the Royal Leicester Regiment - will be on sale in selected Everards pubs and national stockists throughout November.

Everards Brewery has long supported the work of The BFF through the Buy Our Heroes a Drink campaign and is proud to be continuing the association.

Based on the traditional IPA beer styles, originally brewed to satisfy the tastes of the British Army in India, Regimental is a 5% ABV Indian Pale Ale.

For many years, the Royal Leicester Regiment served with credit across the world. In 1804 the Regiment embarked for India. Local water supplies for many troops and servants of the East India dock office were inconsistent and the local spirit had the potential to send a drinker blind! The British knew that only a finely brewed beer could stand the temperatures of such a long sail boat journey.

Head Brewer Graham Giblet said: “Regimental IPA is Everards' tribute to its local Regiment and its achievements in India. It is a modern twist on a famous beer; we call it Tradition with Ambition.”
